RBC, HCT and CA low - What could cause this?
I am a 46 yr white female who had blood test levels that were slightly low in RBC and HCT. I had the labs repeated again 6 mths later and not only are the RBC and HCT low, now the CA is low. The levels are as follows (RBC 3.71, HCT 34.7 and CA 8.4). Should I be concerned and have my primary care physician refer me to an oncologist for cancer?
Hi, I had the same thing happen to me. When I was 34, my white cell counts were low, and had a positive tb test. It turned out I didn't have tb and had to have my blood counts done several time. Eventually I was referred to a hemotologist / oncoligist. Where again I was repeatedly tested for everything. The only thing they were able to find out was that at some point in my life I had mono. Eventually I was referred to go to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD, where I was to see the best of the best. And they found nothing. I eventually had a bone marrow test done, and still nothing. This went on for about 2 years, I felt like draculas bride. Everything is still the same today, I have my blood work checked every 6 months to make sure its not gotten worse.
