Copper levels
Hi everyone. Now that our dear Chirley seems to have ceased posting I just thought for the sake of those with new MDS diagnoses I should mention the possibility of low copper levels inducing MDS, and in particular anemia and low neutrophils. Here are some links to studies:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17236184
http://www.bloodjournal.org/content/...o-checked=true
http://www.haematologica.org/content/92/10/1429
http://ajcp.oxfordjournals.org/content/132/2/191
I couldn't find any really recent studies. I'm interested to know if anyone else on the forum has discovered that low copper has either resulted in a diagnosis of MDs or influenced their blood levels.
