This is his last (prior to BMB)- only RBC, HGB & HCT are out of range:
WBC - 5.23 (4.0 - 10.80)
RBC - 4.05 (4.60 - 5.40)
HGB - 12.8 (14.0 - 18.0)
HCT - 37.4 (40 - 54%)
MCV - 92.3 (80-94)
MCH - 31.6 (26-33)
MCHC 34.2 (32-36)
Platelet - 227 (150-350)
His WBC's have been low (below normal) in the past (within the last 18 months) but right now aren't. His platelets have also been low in the past (but not within the last 18 months). It's the RBC's/anemia that have been consistently low for around 8 or so years. His GP sent him to the hematologist oncologist when the WBCs started also going low, but as you can see right now they are okay. The low platelet is even more intermittent... he gets severe bruising when that happens, but that hasn't happened in awhile.
Still don't have his BMB report, but I don't think that's the doctor's fault. Hubby is health care proxy for his mom and she's been having some issues this week that are taking precedence. His mom's issues are not related but she also does have a history of bizarre & severe, intermittent, unexplained bruising. We've always chocked hubby's bruising up to that.
