Haematology

Consultation October 29. Blood results (last reading 4 weeks before in brackets) Hb 100 g/L(105); WBC 3.1x10⁹/L (3.1)); neutrophils 1.43x 10⁹/L (1.30); platelets 424x109/L (347), MCV 110 fL. Hydroxycarbamide to remain at 5 times/week but might be reduced further at next consultation November 26 if Hb continues to fall. Problem then would be that platelets would rise above desirable level.
