A member asked:
If rbc went up without medicine from 10 to 10.5 in a month and all else like wbc plalets are normal does that mean we rule out mds, for a 69 yrs man.

No: A change from 10 to 10.5 is minor and therefore you will need to have additional follow up to confirm the up-trending. It is extremely unusual to have mds at age of 33 by the way.

RBC or Hb?: You probably mean a hb instead of rbc. No, it does not rule out mds. You need to have a bone marrow biopsy/ to rule this out.
