If someone's red blood cell count is only borderline normal,
realize that another lab could consider them to be anemic - Or out of normal range.
There is variation in what is considered normal
for
... from lab to lab
|
Have lab check red blood cells under a microscope if counts are borderline normal:
4.7 or less -for Men 4.0 or less -for women
Or if your blood counts are lower than normal for YOU
"Labs vary in what they consider normal, based on their subjective evaluation of what is normal for their 'population' Also to a minor degree on the instrumentation they use." 5-1-03 comment of Providence's Lab
Hemolytic anemia could begin in 1989, from exposure to EVOS chemicals?
In addition to blood counts, other factors are considered, too
Share this with your current doctor - or a doctor who will consult with toxicology experts should you have concern about chemical overexposures

for $8 get the anemia check on your blood counts!
Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Worker, How do you feel?
|
The information on oil and on the chemicals used during the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Indicate that aplastic anemia is likely from the oil...
and that hemolytic anemia is likely from the 2-butoxyethanol in Inipol EAP 22 (bioremediation experimental chemical) and Corexit (experimental chemical).
Maybe it's possible to have both?
If you do have one or the other, you could have had it all this time, since your 1989 work; if the blood counts are questionable, ask your doctor to check for these. If you develop other complications, it is likely to be in addition to the anemia, not instead of. If you find help; please share so others can be helped too! |
