Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 17year old has had his blood monitored every month for the last five months. Every month his blood platelets are low (between 99,000-102,000). His most recent blood test also showed an elevated Hashimoto s. He s normally healthy, fit, active and does not take any medications. His PCP recommends he sees a hematologist/oncologist. What could this be?
