What Might Be The Prognosis For Low Platelet Count If Bone Marrow And Aspiration Results Are Normal?
I am currently seeing a hematologist for low platelets. my abdonial ultrasound can back good today, only 2 tiny liver cysts. My platelets 2 days ago was 61(previously were 40 and 47) Today she recommended a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration to check for cancer, I think. If that is clear what would be a reasonable guess into the next step?

Hello,
I hope that the bone marrow biopsy and aspiration come out clear. Of these come out then an autoimmune disease is possible. In this case, you may use corticosteroids to suppress immunity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
