The lack of hemoglobin in the red blood cells is attributed to anemia or iron deficiency. There is no actual condition in itself of lack of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Hemoglobin times three equals hematocrit, which is the volume of packed red blood cells. A low count of either indicates anemia. This could be the result of an iron deficiency or a protein deficiency, or it could mean internal bleeding. The etiology of the low hemoglobin needs to be determined.
