Hi All:

Sorry to bother all of you, but am hoping you can provide some guidance. I got autoimmune hepatitis about 6 years ago, at 20 years old. I am in stage 3 cirrhosis. Has been stable. I recently came off my medications (azathioprine). While on the medication, my blood counts were normal. Now off the medication, my blood counts are very low, which is odd. I have a lot of fatigue and am bleeding pretty easily. I have petechiae all over my body. My platelets are 108, WBC 2.3, RBC 3.6. My only thought is there is something wrong with my bone marrow - which sort of makes sense given that azathioprine completely screws with your bone marrow and has all sorts of warnings about it causing leukemia and other blood disorders.

How would I get diagnosed or find out what this is? Are my symptoms in line with AA? Any help is immensely appreciated. Thanks!
