Hi Hopeful,

Thanx for helping to interpret my mom bone marrow report. Appreciate that.

Actually my mom is fine when taking the cyclosporine as long as her HB and RBC are on the normal level. Basically the cyclosporine treatments is on-going for first 3 months (1 tablet=25mg) and then next 3 months (2 tablet) with 2 packs of RBC transfusion every month. After the CBC checked every month, there were no signed of improvement seen on the HG and RBC. As there were side effect on this medicine, so the doctor stopped it.

According to the doctor, based on the bone marrow report on the interpretation which showed "Hypocellular marrow and Hypoplastic anaemia, then the treatment should be cyclosporine. This is the explanation.

As you mentioned in the interpretation from the report, the doctor conclusion is something wrong with her bone marrow ability to make enough blood cells.

FYI, my mom did two BMB. One with goverment hospital which the specialist says the tests was not details enough as some of the test is not done, so the 2nd BMB was done by the doctor as the attached report. This BMB was from early this year as my mom was shivering when we told her that she might needs to go for another BMB. So at the moment, we postpone the test. We will try to convince my mom that it is okie for the BMB in order to find out the reasons.

Did they do cytogenetics on her marrow sample?
Answer : I thought the report with "Bone Marrow Cytogenetic Report" meaning they did the test ????

Can you please send me a complete tests example for BMB as i really have no ideas on how to ask the doctor about this. I can only trust his professionalism and expertise.
