Hemoglobin is a protein that act as a carrier of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. The condition where the hemoglobin levels are below normal value is called anemia. Hypoalbuminemia and anemia are commonly found in elderly patients. These conditions happen physiologically and could get worse because of the underlying diseases.
