What is erythroid hyperplasia?

Hello Hispit,
Try to hang in there. I know it is discouraging not to have an official diagnosis but sometimes it can take a series of tests and treatments to get to the bottom of things. It appears that at the least you have an iron deficiency component to your anemia although that may not be the whole story. Your hematologist is giving you iron since lack of iron stores in the bone marrow is indicative of iron deficiency even though your serum iron was normal. The next question is why are you iron deficient which I'm sure your hematologist is looking into. Has your Hb risen after the iron therapy?? When you see your hematologist next time write down all the questions that you don't understand to ask him.
