## The case history
Today morning, one Bangladeshi middle-aged patient of 40-years of age came to my chamber. He was kinda a regular patient in our clinic. Today was his 6th visit in last one year. He was a patient of hypertension. During last year, sometimes his BP was under control, sometimes wasn't. He was started with a single anti-hypertensive medicine. However, his BP wasn't controlled with that. So, around 3 months earlier, another drug was added with the previous one. According to him, after starting the second drug, he started have a few problems day by day. One of the most troubling problems was the lack of appetite, hence couldn't eat his full for the last several months. He was feeling severe weakness, fatigued and lethargic most of the time along with nausea. Recently, he started having itchy rashes in his right upper abdominal area. He didn't have any history of per-rectal bleeding or jaundice. However, considering his nausea and anorexia, he himself wanted to do the liver function test (LFT). I added a CBC (complete blood count) test with the LFT.
His LFT came back normal except a little raised level of total bilirubin. However, in CBC, his Hb level came only 6.3 g/dl, which is very low (normal range is 14-18 g/dl for men). Other counts in CBC were within normal limits.
According his Hb level, he needed urgently blood transfusion. Also he needed evaluations for finding out the causes for such low Hb. So, I sent him to the higher centre with a referral letter.

## Why am I grateful for today?
I am grateful to Allah because I am alive today.
I am grateful to my creator because I have never suffered from low Hb.
I am grateful to the almighty because He made a doctor.
## Alhamdulillah!
