Accepted Answer

More info needed: The most common reason for microcytic hypochromic anemia is iron defieicncy.  The most common cause of low neutrophil counts and lymphopoenia can be virally associated or antibody associated.  Hopefully, she is seeing a hematologist.  Depending on her blood counts, she may be at risk of infection.  Please make sure she is being seen properly and that oncologic issues are ruled out as well-.

Iron deficient: Likely iron deficiency.  I would check iron levels, retic count, and other tests.  Hope this helps.  Need other tests to check for other possibilities.

Question 4

can a bleeding ulcer be the cause of microcytic hypochromic anemia?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: A bleeding ulcer could cause iron deficiency anemia (low red blood cell count). If the bleeding is severe and persists for a while, red blood cells will be small (microcytic) and have relatively less oxygen-carrying hemoglobin (hypochromic).  Thanks to m. Dinapoli, med student.

Accepted Answer

Iron deficiency: the anemia is most consistent with iron deficiency. another cause could be thalassemia. the high WBC count and PMN leucocytosis may indicate inflammation or infection. the high platelet count can be seen in iron deficiency anemia and/or bleeding. Iron deficiency is common among women of menstrual age and who have had children. Speak with your doctor regarding further evaluation and treatment.

Check your iron: This implies that you may have an iron deficiency and that you've had blood loss. Your body will be able to make new blood cells but I may need iron to make hemoglobin. You may need an iron supplement. Leukocytosis  and thrombocytosis often accompanied the iron deficiency anemia.of course other causes should be considered.

Accepted Answer

Very: I admire your courage in writing. You say you are "alone", and you describe two serious health problems facing you. The most important thing right now is to get yourself into the system that exists to care for people with health problems or who are isolated socially, no matter what the circumstances. Ask a health care worker or spiritual leader in your community to get you started.
