Suggest Remedies For Low WBC Count In Blood
I have been low red blood cell count for some time and in the last year had an infusion to raise it up. It worked after about 6 weeks and I felt better. Now I am getting ready for a total right knee replacement and had some standard blood work in preperation for that. My doctor called me afternoon and said she wanted me to see a hemotologist because now I have low white blood cell count. What the heck could be happening? \

Hello,
* The white blood cells are produced from the progenitor cells in the bone marrow.
Persistently low levels of WBC narrate underlying hematological abnormality due to immune-related disorders or else.
Kindly fix an appointment with your hematologist and proceed for detailed work up as per his or her advise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
