Hubo un descenso únicamente de 3 puntos en las cifras de hemoglobina.
Speaking of a laser enucleation of the prostate. I cannot imagine they mean a fall of 3 grams/dl! How can that amount be considered little! Could it mean a drop from, for example, 14 to 13.7 gm/dl?
Thanks in advance.

The Spanish text means "3 points" (or perhaps more loosely, "3 digits" given the text that follows).
What the author intended to say, and what the author actually said, may not match. However, I believe that your obligation extends only to accurately translating the text.

My suggested rendition of the entire sentence: "There was a decrease/drop of only three points in the hemoglobin count."

In answer to your question: Yes, it is very possible that the author meant a decrease of 0.3 gm/dl. However, in order to make that determination, you would need more information than is provided in that one sentence.
