The way a 6.1 Hemoglobin count is treating depends on the cause. One way of treating it is by hooking the patient up to an iv and slowly letting red blood cells enter his or her veins. Doctors look for sources of internal or external bleeding. They stop the bleeding. If it is caused by liver failure, they check for a possible liver transplant. They may treat it by a bone marrow transplant. If it is caused by a lack of iron in the diet, they may put the patient on a diet high in iron. If it is caused by kidney failure, they may put the patient on dialysis. If the patient is a woman with excessive bleeding, they may perform a hysterectomy. Or, if the patient is extremely old or they decide nothing can be done that will enable the patient to recover, they do not do anything.
