Thanks for all the info. I talked about liver function tests with my family member so hopefully we can get some tests (although I dislike the idea of too many blood tests when the blood seems so precious).

We had a doctor's visit today and EPO seems like the next choice. However, oddly, the nurse told me that no pre EPO serum will be measured. I was very confused, because when I asked again, they said no it isn't done. I'm not sure how to address this or convince them. Is it any different than another blood test, more expensive??

Their platelet count is low, under 100,000x10–6/L. But they have to be on aspirin because of the heart. The doctor didn't mention if this was an issue with the EPO.
