A member asked:
I'm anemic, with mild thrombocytosis and rouleaux formation . is this dangerous ? my blood test also came with suspicion with thalesemian blood trait
A doctor has provided 1 answer
FInd cause: Your physician owes a duty to you to answer these questions. Are you iron deficient? If so, is it from your diet (vegetarian?) or are you losing blood? The thrombocytosis suggests it. Is the rouleaux real or a lab overread? (the latter is common.) do you in fact have thalassemia minor? A look at the smear and indices should give a presumptive answer. Iron deficiency warns of possible latent bad dz.
