I forgot to add that if your niece is having issues with reynaulds as well as her AA, I would recommend having her talk to her hematologist about seeing a rhuematologist as well. It doesn't hurt to see what he/she has to say and it really is refreshing to get a perspective from a doctor in another field. And, like my rhuematologist, that is their specialty and they may have a particular lab that they trust with their labwork since it seems that results can be so sensitive to testing. I had never seen a rhuematologist when I was battling AA and my rhuematologist now was surprised by that.
