[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Low hemoglobin can occur due to decreased blood production, increased blood destruction and increased blood loss. Negative occult blood in stools suggests that there is no blood loss from gastrointestinal tract. However, other causes of blood loss have to be looked for like increased destruction of red blood cells and decreased production pf red blood cells. A peripheral blood smear has to examined to know the type of anemia. Treatment can be planned once type of anemia and cause of anemia is known. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
