Abnormal Blood Results

I have a low WBC (4.1 with ref 4.8-10.8).  This was being monitored due to a medication.  They switched my medicaiton and it remains low.  They conducted a couple of weeks of tests which also reveal a low RBC of 4.53 (4.70-6.00), a low to 'just in range' HCT going between 38.6-41 (ref. range of 39.0-49.0).

MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW are well within normal.  Hemoglobin is hovering just above the normal floor.

Platelet counts are normal with the MPV consistently at the normal floor.

Slight Anisocytosis and slight poikilocyte.

Any thoughts/ideas?  Do you think it's the medicine?  I see the hematologist tomorrow and just trying to think of what might come up.

Thanks!

Hi,
I think low WBC and low RBC count, suggest some kind of bone marrow depression. Seeing a hematologist definitely would help in deciding further course of action.
