Hi,
Welcome and thanks for asking.
Low hemoglobin and high ESR suggests a definite chronic inflammation.
Common causes include multiple myeloma and tuberculosis. As bone marrow is already investigated, other investigations are required as follow:
1. C-reactive protein levels
2. Screening for antibodies - ANA
3. Type of anemia - and 7.5 is low at this age and needs to be aggressively treated.
Further followup can be done after investigations.
Any further query, happy to help again.
