Which vitamin is important for hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the respiratory organs to the rest of the body by way of the blood. When someone is lacking in hemoglobin, the condition is known as anemia. Iron is an important vitamin for hemoglobin production, as it increases resistance to stress and disease and improves blood quality. Vitamin C supports the absorption of iron, so it is also necessary to have enough vitamin C for healthy blood.
Is vitamin K deficiency a cause of bleeding disorders?
Vitamin K is necessary for the production of Clotting Factors II, VII, IX and X. So a vitamin K deficiency could lead to a bleeding disorder.

Inhibition of Vitamin K function is also associated with clotting disorders though for this to occur there has to be a deficiency in either proteins C or S.

Why is there a low hemoglobin level in Kidney Diseased patients?
While the kidney is normally thought of as an excretory organ, it is also an important endocrine organ (ie, one that produces hormones). One of the hormones it produces is called erythropoietin (EPO), which stimulates the production of red blood cells (RBCs). RBCs are basically sacs of hemoglobin that carry oxygen around. The amount of hemoglobin varies according to the number of RBCs in the blood. And the number of RBCs in the blood is controlled by EPO. In kidney disease, EPO production decreases because the kidney is malfunctioning. As a result, RBC count decreases, as does hemoglobin.
What vitamins increases hemoglobin?
