Graves' disease.....
I am just adding to the graves disease answer... I have an auto immune disease called Aplastic Anemia. My immune system is attacking my bone marrow therefore making it hard to create my own blood... My hemoglobin was just at 5.2 so i chose to transfuse at that point.. At my last transfusion my hemoglobin was at 6.5,,, and so on... There is also an autoimmune disease called celaic disease where your body attacks your digestive system. This may sometimes cause internal bleeding making your hemoglobin drop from the loss of blood.
