My husband has been on dialysis for four years in July. He has a stint in his left arm. He has had three surgeries including the one that is taking place right now. The first time he had an infection on the site it bleed out. That was the same day that he was called with a kidney donor. We were already at the hospital for the ruptured site area. His red blood count went down and has never came back up again. Because of this problem his transplant has been put on hold. Today he is back in surgery to remove another aneurism from his site. He has been checked for cancer, also had a bone marrow test that came back clean. Four years ago he lost one kidney to cancer. He only has one kidney but the cancer has not returned. I truly believe that the infected site has cause this. The doc are now moving his site to another arm. In doing so do you think his chance of red blood cell rising are promising? Also, please tell me what is the best hospital and doctor for red and white blood count problems? Sincerely, Valerie Hornbeak
