Tysabri & LAB work

[AMO]

I had first labs done after my 4thh    infusion. The one test was on thee re ....NRBC# units10^9/L (nucleated red blood cells ) reference rangee 0.0-0.0  ....my results 0.07 (how off is this numberr be?)

I  did not recognize the test so  googled and my understanding is  adults should not have them, and even    one ceell seen would be problllematic.
So, anyone have to give thoughts?

I see a few other of the labs out of the normal ranges. I certainllly will discuss them with neuro. I  am wondering if one of these has throw me off os much.
I have not felt  weell in the    last three months, especially two...and this last month worse. I was thinking/hoping after this 5th treatment i    would turn around but not so , siiigh.
thanks , amo

hi  Rita,
thank you. So far unfortunatly I have felt no improvement and actually  worse. Li ke i mentioned only have 5 infusions so far. I went into my discession knowing no improvements would be okay, but didn't bank on feeling like this.

I     alwaay order my files ,so that is where i saw the lab results . Other numbers were off somewhat too. I presume nothing way off, my doc is good and if any attention needed he would.
thanks alot,,, amo

I'm on Tysabri, but I don't know that I've ever had the NRBC test.  I get the blood work periodically, but I always thought it was more liver function tests.  Maybe they test for the NRBC's also, and I just don't know it... :-)  All I know is that my labs have always come back good so far.  Sorry I can't be of more help to you!  And I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling bad in general.  Does it seem like the Tysabri has helped with anything yet?

Hi Amo!

Sorry your not feeling well - that's def. too long to feel ill.

I'm not sure of the ranges post infusion but hoping a healthy bump of your post will bring you some answers.
