What is the treatment option for hematological and kidney problem?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My father is 73 years old and has hematology and kidney problems. I want a second opinion regarding the medications prescribed by his doctor.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Your blood reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) suggest abnormal findings for two or more months.
So a bone marrow biopsy has been done. It shows myeloproliferative neoplasm, which is a form of blood cancer. You need to investigate further with flow cytometry and a Jak2 mutation and exon 12 mutation study by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) to classify your myeloproliferative cancer.
Your father may need chemotherapy once these reports are done. I strongly suggest you consult a nearby hemato-oncologist for a detailed discussion and start chemotherapy accordingly.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and take care.
