Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My son has microcytic hypochromic anemia and mild anisopoikilocytosis with ovalocytes seen. No hemoparasites seen. What can I do? Currently, he is taking Cyclosporin 100 mg, and previously, he used to take Prednisone 30 mg.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have seen your attached reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). As per the reports he is having autoimmune hemolytic anemia because of reticulocyte count high, normoblast is seen, DCT (direct Coombs test) positive, ICT (indirect Coombs test) positive. So for that continue prescribed medication that is a steroid that will be beneficial in your case. In autoimmune condition antibody forms against own cells so Prednisone will be helpful that has been prescribed to you.
Take care. Consult hematologist regularly for follow up.
