Brief Answer: Hemotologist Detailed Answer: Hi, Sorry for delay in replying. Now I got a better idea after seeing your reports. As I mentioned earlier, presence of myelocytes, promyelocytes is a concern more than than the finding of Anisocytosis and polychrmocytes. Myelocytes, promyelocytes are present in certain benign and some serious conditions as well. However, a Physical examination is mandatory to assess this since there are variety of other causes that needs to be ruled out. I do not think that use of prednisone or crohn's disease has altered the results of your CBC. You need a consultation with Hemotologist. Hope I have answered your query.

What conditions is it associated with? My gi dr wasnt concerned with results
doctor
Answered by Dr. Guru (14 hours later)
Brief Answer: various kinds of inflammation, infection, etc. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic! Myelocytes, promyelocytes are present usually in various kinds of inflammation, infection, etc. But also rarely without any clinical significance and also in pregnancy. However, as I have not done a physical exam on you, I cannot say for sure what all can be suspected in your case. It again depends on the type of myelocytes like neutrophil myelocytes, eosinophil myelocytes or basophil myelocytes. It is better to get an advise from a Hematologist who is specialized in these kind of problems. I am not sure why your doctor was not concerned with results. Even if he is not concerned about Myelocytes, promyelocytes, there are other things like elevated neutrophils etc that should get some attention. Take Care!

Answered by Dr. Guru (2 hours later)
Brief Answer: Refer below Detailed Answer: Hi, Possible causes include various kinds of inflammation, infection and even pregnancy as I mentioned earlier. As the number of myelo and promyelo is comparatively higher than that usually found in pregnancy, I thought that a Hematologist opinion would be much better. Take Care!
