What Causes Low Lymphocytes Count?
Question: My lymphocytes are dropping, could this be caused by my chemotherapy tablets (sutent )
Brief Answer:
Most likely because of sutent
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Sutent is known to cause this problem of low lymphocytes. It can also cause other blood cell reduction, like low red cells, low neutrophil and low platelets.
So unless the counts are alarmingly low, nothing needs to be done.
Hope this helps.
