General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your post understand your concern.
The very fact that they are unable to locate the cause for her severe anaemia by investigations has made the doctors to think about exploring cause which could be at the bone marrow level.
Hence, they have referred you to see Hematologist as she would require bone marrow aspiration and biopsy to see what could be the cause. The picture of bone marrow would tell what could be the cause for severe anaemia, so that her treatment can be instituted accordingly.
Kindly go ahead as advised and hope for the best.
All the best.
