Txs
Hi Honey,
You know it is impossible to tell you how fast your HGB level will increase after a bleeding. If you manage with a HGB of 80 you don't need a tx - my HGB was 70 at dx and my only symptom was that I got breathless in long stairs.
When we get a tx and the HGB increases our kidneys are told that they don't have to make more EPO, that stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells.
We have about 5 l of blood so 50 ml isn't much.
Too bad that it will take three weeks to start to find out the source of the bleed. Have you any treatment for DVT and pulmonary embolisms? All dugs for these symptoms can cause bleedings.
Chirley suggested frequent controls of your HGB. Perhaps your doctors will understand that this is important too.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
