A member asked:

What does it mean whenyou white& red counts are low. i, have about five flaga for low counts.

When both: White and red counts are low and if platelet count is low, it is called pancytopenia, your body is not making enough blood. It could mean a serious condition if these values are true. See a hematologist for specific recommendation.
