Myelodysplastic Syndrom + Chronic gouty arthritis

Hello,

It is my first time in this forum. I am Spanish, from La Rioja.

My father has a Myelodysplastic Syndrom (in the first degree) and he has also Rheumatoid arthritis (Chondrocalcinosis). He was treated for the arthrhtis with colchicine for three months and the cytopenia (low levels of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets) he had, went into worse, only in three months. He stopped having colchicine and after 1,5 months the levels are still low.

I would be very grateful if you could tell me if this cytopenia could have gone into worse because of the colchicine or just because of the evolution of the Myelodysplastic Syndrom.

If you need more data, please ask me.

Thank you,

Josh
