Haematology












Blood results last 6 months
























25.03    2.03  21.01 24.12 26.11 29.10    Normal
Hb 98      98     101   104   109    100 130 - 180
WBC 3.15   3.36    3.52    4.0   3.02     3.1 4.5 - 10.0
Neutrophils 1.57   1.78     1.6   1.8  1.16   1.43 2.0 - 7.5
Plt 369    449    494   551   391    427 150 - 450


Platelets well inside normal range. They deal with clotting and if they get too high they cause thrombosis. Haemoglobin rather low but hydroxycarbamide dose, now 500 mg 5 days a week, stays the same. If it was lowered it would tend to improve Hb, but possibly reverse the Plt trend. WBC apparently on a downward trajectory, no comment on that, or on Neutrophils.
