Hi,
I'm a newbie here
I hope I am posting my question in the right place.
I had blood work today with normal WBC, RBC, platelets. My HB was slightly low at 118 and my reticulocyte count was 16 (normal range 25-90). Not sure what could be the cause of this? I have also been experiencing fatigue and low energy levels the past week and a half.
Some other oddities include an enlarged spleen (this was felt on examination by my hematologist, ultrasound is booked in a couple of weeks); I also have a small, hard lump on my thigh, appeared about two weeks ago... GP thinks it is an enlarged lymph node (u/s for this also in a couple of weeks).
I was diagnosed with Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome a couple of months ago but my blood results have all returned to normal since that episode aside from my Hb fluctuating a bit so I am not sure what is causing the low reticulocyte count.
Any ideas of what could be the issue? I'm concerned I could be developing another condition...
