What Is The Reason For Drop In Hemoglobin Levels After A Kidney Transplant? Any Diet To Increase Its Level?

My mother is 73 yr olds and just undergone a kidney transplant 2 weeks ago. She is now recovering in hospital. Doctor said her hemoglobin level drops to 6 from yesterday's blood test and recommends a blood transfusion now. I would like to ask what that happens and what sort of diet / food is recommended for her to increase the hemogloblin level? Thanks. W.L.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The hemoglobin level in the blood has come down to 6 after the transplantation surgery, means she must be given transfusions more over from the genetic relatives, to prevent the compications of the surgery.
Latter when she recovers, you can use things to improve the hemoglobin.
I advise you to give green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
