my mother is still not well.
Doctors are waiting for results of a Bone Marrow Biopsy.
I have been told they may be looking for Mylodisplastic Disorder.
Please tell me what this is exactly, what are the symptoms and what is the treatment.
Thank you.
Thankyou for your response.
My mother is 66y.o and is currently in Greece in a hospital in Athens and I am in Australia.The Greek doctors have performed a number of blood tests,urine tests,stool tests and even an MRI and have found everything to be normal. However, her hematocrit continues to fall, she still has a low grade fever, fatigue and a body rash that comes and goes.
Hi,
Low levels of hematocrit levels indicate anemia. This can occur due to inadequate intake of iron, heavy bleeding during menstruation, and patients with chronic kidney disease who no longer secrete sufficient amounts of erythropoietin, which stimulates RBC production in the bone marrow.
Please discuss these possibilities with your doctor. Do keep us posted!
