Hi Anjum,

Unfortunately kidney disease can cause low hemoglobin levels when all those elements you mentioned are in the optimum range (B6, B12, folic acid, iron, etc). This is because the kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO), which signals the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Therefore as kidney function declines, so too can EPO, resulting in low hemoglobin levels and chronic anemia.

When chronically low in hemoglobin, some patients will require EPO injections.

Hello!

I just stumbled upon your website doing a quick Google search for low hemoglobin. I had a quick (I hope!) question. My 72-year old father was recently told he has a Hgb count of 12.9. All his other blood levels – B6, B12, folic acid and iron – were all at normal levels. If his iron level was satisfactory, then he’s not anemic, correct? What else might be causing a low Hgb? He’s made an appointment with a hematologist, but we’re just trying to make some sense of this all.

Thank you!

Hi Stacey, I don’t see any reason why these remedies would pose any risk for your current health (except for Dong Quai). I agree that you should always check with your doctor or health care professional, but all of these remedies should only improve your condition. As mentioned Dong Quai is the only one I would definitely recommend avoiding, and that is because it alters estrogen levels in the body.
