falling labs over the past year with aplastic anemia
Hi
I have noticed over the past year falling WBC's and neutrophils counts. My hematologist doesn't seem to be concerned. Recently I was also found to have iron deficiency anemia and received an iron transfusion. I was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia 13 years ago.Treated at the time with horse ATG and Cyclosporin.Not on any current meds. I do get frequent sinus and urinary infections over the past year since my labs have dropped.
I am wondering if it might be time to check a bone marrow biopsy.My last bm bx was in 2017.
I am vegan but eat plenty of foods with iron and take extra vitamin C for absorption.I take B 12 and a multivitamin with iron.
I am seeing my hematologist tomorrow so any input would be helpful! Thanks
Ellen
