Decipher None Marrow Studies results

[cassbrob]

Hi there can anyone help me decipher these results? I have yet to be able to meet with my doctor because no one will answer a phone to schedule and appointment.

Bone Marrow Studies:
Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy
Mild hypocellular bone marrow (50%) with trilineage hematopoiesis
No morphological immunohistochemical evidence of Mast Cell disease
Mild Leukopenia
Storage iron present

Thanks

Hi cassbrob,

I am not a doctor nor in the medical field, but will try to put your mind at ease until you speak to yours...


Mild hypocellular bone marrow (50%) with trilineage hematopoiesis


Bone marrow cellularity depends on your age. A rough estimate is 100 minus your age. So, if you are younger than 50, you have less cells than normal. Many things can cause this though, including a recent virus.

Trilineage hematopoiesis means that all 3 cell lines (red blood, white blood, and platelets) are still making cells, which is a good thing.


No morphological immunohistochemical evidence of Mast Cell disease
Mild Leukopenia
Storage iron present


The cells that you are making are of normal shape, which is good. You are a little low in some of your white blood cells. Your iron level is okay.

Nothing here looks alarming to me. Hopefully your doctor says the same :)
