Keep in mind counts from different insitutions can vary, sometimes considerably. For example on 1/10 my plts were 118 at hospital "A." On 1/13 plts were 88 a the other hospital. There is no way my plts dropped 42 points in 3 days. Also Hgb 12.8 vs 11.6.

I'm on Soliris which prevents intravascular hemolyis and only get mild hemolysis (extravascular) when I have an infection and don't have one now. I'm not tx dependent and Hbg has been very stable on main hospital, second one. So I'm certain it's a methodology issue or one of them, (1st one a community hospital) is an artifact-error.
