Diagnosis?

In addition to what Chirley has suggested , may I ask the results of the MCV, reticulocyte count, iron stain on bone marrow,serum ferritin, iron, TIBC, folate, erythropoietin level, TSH, lupus screen? Also has the patient been on any medications or drugs that might lower platelets ? Has she ever been transfused or exposed to hepatitis C , HIV or any other recent viruses? Is the anemia simply due to blood loss from the menorrhagia caused by the low platelet count or something in addition to that? Thanks and good luck, tytd
