Hi Rebecca,
Here are some important tests and their reference range. Different labs have different reference values so it is better to always ask for a copy of the test results - the reference value is written beside her result.

Haemoglobin (Hb) female 115 - 120
White blood cells (WBC) 4.1 - 10.9 x109/L
Platelet count (Plt) 150 - 450 x109/L

When I was dx May 2006 my Hb was 70 (I was transfusion dependent from start), WBC:s 4.6 and plt:s 66. Since then my WBC:s have decreased after several infections and I get Neupogen with very good effect. I am still asymptomatic.

Hope your mother feels better after the transfusions!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
