Hello Anon
Thank you for writing.
For a male, normal levels should be 13.5-17.5 so your levels are very low.
According to the Mayo Clinic, your levels may be low due to:
Iron deficiency
Vitamin B-12 deficiency
Folate deficiency
Bleeding
Cancers that affect the bone marrow, such as leukemia
Kidney disease
Liver disease
Hypothyroidism
Thalassemia — a genetic disorder that causes low levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells
Anon, please talk to your doctor about how to raise your levels.
