My 74 year old father has battled MDS for 1.5 years. Since summer 2015 he's been kept alive through weekly PLT and RBC transfusions. The WBC has been consistently low throughout this disease until January. His WBC is normally 2.5-3.5. This parameter has increased as follows:

January 4th = 5.75
January 11th = 7.25
January 18th = 12.50

Does this progression indicate transformation to AML? Could there be another medical explanation?

Thanks
