A member asked:
With my counts being low, warrant to need a bone marrow done, to rule out leukemia? wbc, rbc, plt are all low. the onethat was taken was inconclusive6th

Very likely, yes: Unless the counts are low due to an obvious reason( such as use of recent chemotherapy or radiotherapy) low counts raise questions about the health of your bone marrow, so a bone marrow aspiration as well as a biopsy(both should be done at the same sitting), is essential to find out the cause of low blood counts.. Good luck.
