Hi Mags,

Thanks for the inputs and explanation. Appreciate that.

About your question, does it run 9-10 or 7-8? I dont understand what number is this, sorry ? Maybe you can tell me more. Thanks

I guess my mom has rheumatoid arthritis but very mild one as she hardly complains. Her wrist bone and toe are a bit deformed, we showed it to the hema, the hema says it is fine. We thought it was because of some vitamins deficiency.

She has an operation to remove bone spurs on the spinal cord few years back. During that time, seems she has anemia already based on the CBC results before the operation. After the operation, the doctor gave her some medicines to improve her blood conditions.

I dont think she has chronic renal failure as per her CBC report doesnt showed that symptoms i guess

If the sample collected is not optimal, meaning they can't get good sample, so the results is not accurate i presumed. Correct me if i am wrong.

From my mom reports, she does not have the Bone Marrow Aspiration as there is no fragment for interpretation, just wondering how serious is this ? If anyone know, please do comment. Thanks.

For the last 2 times of the BMB, both without Bone Marrow Aspiration results as Inadequate sample for interpretation.


Actually i have started talking to the doctor in Singapore for further consultation. The hema actually recommending to redo the test again with the following recommendation. Just wondering is it necessary to do the FISH, pnh screen test ?

bone marrow aspirate, trephine biopsy, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, mds fish, pnh screen, FBC, renal, liver, serum copper, immunoglobulins and serum electrophoresis. B12, folate ferritin

cheers
