Haemoglobin level
My uncle isn't keeping well from past few days and his hb level has come out to be 6.3. Please suggest me the action to be taken
Thanking you in anticipation
Hi
Thanks for contacting Practo. The haemoglobin level is extremely low firstly he needs blood transfusion immediately. Then the cause of low haemoglobin has to be diagnosed once the haemoglobin levels reach normal levels. If neglected he can have serious problems like cardiomegaly etc.
Next Steps
Get a Blood Transfusion done.
