Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Elevated Platelets, WBC, Lymphocytes. Taking Iron For Anemia. Why Has Immunoglobulin Therapy Been Suggested?
I have not had a dx yet. My platelets are elevated as well as my wbc and lymphocytes. I am also now taking iron 375 mgdo to anemia. I have had a bone marrow biopsy last yr it came back neg for cancer with no other discoveries.. I followed up again this month levels remain elevated. I have had chronic infections sinusitis and bronchitis 4-5x since Oct 2012 having to take two rounds of antibiotics each time. Also have had several infections each yr since I had mono in 1998. I was hospitalized for mono. Hematology Md is running more blood tests. He mentioned depending on results he would prob do immunoglobulin therapy? I am unsure of what direction he is going? It seems this is for primary antibody deficiency? Is this a Diagnosis in itself? If so what is the typical prognosis? Is it possible to get hepatitis or other diseases thru this tx? I have read a few articles suggesting risk.
