Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your father's situation and problem. CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) is blood cancer affecting blood cells. CLL patient is at high risk of hemolysis. This hemolysis can cause breakdown of RBCs (red blood cells) and hence hemoglobin will drop. Another cause is decrease production of RBCs from bone marrow. CLL infiltrates bone marrow. Blood cells are originating from bone marrow. So RBC production is also decreased in CLL. This is another reason for low hemoglobin. With proper chemotherapy, CLL can be controlled and once it is in remission phase, hemoglobin will start rising. So consult oncologist for your father and start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
