Hi Bailie
If I am posting this in the wrong place...I apologize.
My father's age: 75
My dad was hospitalized 7 Mar. His Hgb was 8.7, and after a colonoscopy, was advised that low Hgb was due to a small polyp. On 10 Mar he underwent his first blood transfusion, and was discharged 11 Mar w/Hgb 8.8. The hematologist contacted said that he would see my father in his office.
18 Mar. Hematologist said that Dad is to begin receiving IV-iron treatment.
His lab results from that appt were: WBC 1.8; RBC 3.6; Hgb 11.8; Hct 33.9; MCV 94.2; MCH 33; MCHC 34.9; RDW 16.1; PLT 215; MPV 7.1; Gran# 0.6; Lymph# 1.2; Mono# 0; Gran% 30.6; Lymph% 67.4; Mono% 2.
