Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. But fluid infusion can not increase the hemoglobin level. There must be some other reason for your hemoglobin rise.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
