Title: Prospective Randomized Clinical Feasibility Study of Red Cell Transfusion Goals in Patients With Acute Leukemias
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study to determine if a lower hemoglobin transfusion threshold, 7 g/dL, has a safety profile similar to that of the current standard transfusion threshold of 8 g/dL.

* Those unable to receive blood transfusion
* Patients who refused participation in the study
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Acute leukemia patients (AML, ALL, APL, treatment-related myeloid neoplasm, high grade MDS)
* Admitted with plans for inpatient myelosuppressive chemotherapy (with standard of care or protocol regimens)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Severe physical complaints (tachycardia of more than 100 bpm, dyspnoea, syncope, heart problems) at the time of intended inclusion
* Peripartum death of the newborn, or the newborn being in critical condition on neonatal intensive care
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* All patients with acute upper GI hemorrhage who do not have any criterion of exclusion.

Exclusion Criteria:

* \< 18 years old.
* Pregnancy.
* Negative of the patient to receive transfusions.
* Negative of the patient to participate in the study.
