A member asked:
Dad 70 yrs old has macrocytic anemia. all else normal. hos hb went up from 9.2 to 10.2 in two month without medicine. does that rule out mds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really...: The presence of macrocytic anemia should be investigated further. It is true that it could be a sign of mds but other causes are possible including vitamin b12/folate deficiency. His hemoglobin is still low and the fact it went up a little does not really rule out anything.
