Brief Answer:
Low Hb can be due to various reasons, request to upload CBC report

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Low hemoglobin (Hb) may not necessarily be associated with DVT or its treatment (unless there's a sudden drop compared to the previous reports).

Low hemoglobin can be due to low production of hemoglobin, blood loss or increased destruction of hemoglobin.

To know the cause of low hemoglobin, we require some more investigations.
I believe you have got the complete blood counts (CBC).
So, I request you to upload the complete report for more information.

Awaiting...

Thanks and take care
