Reasonable: It sounds reasonable to repeat tests in the absence of any pills that may interfere with coagulation tests. Given the rarity of these conditions, a hematologist specializing in coagulation disorders would be best to put together results with your overall clinical picture and formulating a diagnosis.

Hello My primary doctor has sent me to two different hematologists & no one seems to know what's wrong with my blood. My RBC's & Hemoglobin continue to drop every month, I'm getting weaker, more tired & cognitive function is decreasing?

Ok..Platelets were at 112 had quick re test now at 125. Er doc want me to see Hematologist....My father has gone as low as 93 (while in military) with no concerns. How concerned should I be?

Doctors office ran test blood shows not clotting right, hematologist couldn't find nothing wrong, so what's going on.
