Please tell me what these numbers mean as far as my health is concerned. Thank you!
Brief Answer:
I would advise you bone marrow aspiration and biopsy test to rule out CML.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through your blood reports
Your myelocytes absolute is high
The cause of high myelocytes absolute could be due to chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) which is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow
I would advise you bone marrow aspiration and biopsy test to rule out CML.
These 2 procedures are similar and often done at the same time to examine the bone marrow.
Bone marrow has both a solid and a liquid part. A bone marrow aspiration uses a needle to remove a sample of the fluid containing bone marrow cells.
CT scan upper abdomen is also advised to look at and measure the size of the spleen in people with CML.
