Platelets clumping ?

[Bali05]

Just got my wk56 bloods back and where I usually get a platelet count it reads:

Unable to report due to significant clumping.
Platelet estimate appears adequate.

Anybody ever heard of this in connection to tx ?
My platelets are usually mid to low 200s.
Last bloods wk53  platelets 214.


wk56 ,  UND < 5 IU

I was wondering why you had stopped using the "x out of y" tag. So like voyager  you're drifting farther into the unexplored interstellar dust.. good luck on coming home soon!

( Mike and Goofy, I think).  

My recollection of this is fleeting and vague - as it is for so many things, like what I had for breakfast for example. But I think FLguy is right, and I'm here to tell about it, to the extent that I can remember. So all in all, a good sign, no?

First of all huge Congrats to your SVR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"How long are you treating"
That`s a good question. I could have easily stopped already but I am geno 4 with no
PI to fall back on in case of relapse. There is a number of studies that show reduced
relapse rate with extended tx so I am currently just maxing it out general health and
insurance coverage permitting.
Next meeting with my Hepa is wk60
At wk48 he gave me 85-90% SVR.
I will decide @ the meeting , also going to taper INF after that.

I had it several times, it could be that your blood sample was mishandled.  Not to worry.  

How long are you treating?
