increased MCV
Hi there. I just want to add that there are several other causes for macrocytic anemia than just MDS. Those basic causes like B12 deficiency need to be ruled out as well. The thromobcytopenia seems to be the main concern, with ITP looking as a possible cause. I would agree with the others that heading to a MDS Center of Excellence would be the best next step.
