Cool BMB explain

Hi,

I understand your frustration but to understand your BM results you have to look at the pathology report examining your cells what you shared there is almost no way to determine what is going on. My report had all that to but when you go to the pathology report it will bw a paragraph of findings like mine

for ex:

The bone marrow aspirate shows trilineage hematopoiesis and full maturation. The M:E ratio is 1.2:1 due to erythroid hyperplasia. The erythoid cells also show megaloblastoid changes and dysplastic nuclei are seen in a few normoblasts. A few granulocytes show hypolobation and hypogranular features. There is an adequate number of megakaryocytes.
The core biopsy reveals a cellularity of 50% with erythroid hyperplasia.
Abnormal localization of immature precursors is not present.
Megakaryocytes are normal in number, but many cells are hypolobated and/or microcytic. Normal hematopoiesis and maturation are present in three cell lines. The bony trabeculae are unremarkable. PAS and Giemsa stains are confirmatory. Iron stain detects no stainable iron.

DIAGNOSIS:
BONE MARROW, POSTERIOR ILIAC CREST, SIDE NOT SPECIFIED, CORE BIOPSY AND ASPIRATE:
‐ Refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia, mild.
Comment: The patient has anemia and leukopenia with mild dysplastic changes in three cell lines. The erythroid series shows megaloblastoid changes with dysplastic nuclei demonstrated in a small percentage of normoblasts. The granulocytes reveal hypolobation and/or hypogranularity in a few cells. The megakaryocytes show hypolobation and microcytic forms.

So this says the cells found those immature ect.
hope this helps
