How To Interpret The Bone Marrow Aspiration Procedure Result?
My cousin just had a CT directed bone marrow aspiration. She is reporting that they couldn t get anything . She said some count was supposed to be 90 and hers is a 4. I am trying to interpret what she is reporting. She said that a week ago, they tried to do a bone marrow biopsy and that they were unable to get anything...thus the reason for the CT scan. She has had 2 transfusions and is taking Prednozone. I am trying to decipher what she is trying to report.
