Chirly, My GP told me that as you age the time to infuse is different. For example a 40 year old male will by default be sent for infusion if HGB goes below 7, while a male in there 70s will be infused at 8. this is because the oxygen is needed by the organs in your body and as you age it becomes more of a factor. Also, the levels change they can go up, so if your hgb is 7 one day it could go to 8 just because. its not always a one way trip down.
