A member asked:
Hi there, my question is will a blood transfusion made in a two weeks time before the bone marrow aspiration would affect the testing?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not much: The bone marrow aspiration will assess the production of rbc, and transfusion will not impact those findings to any clinically meaningful extent.
