I have itp leukopenia granulocytosis chirosis hep c wheredoes the granulocytosis and leuko come in with hepc
Question:
Answers:
Usually leukopenia (low white blood cells) are a result of medication, chemo, etc. I have heard of many people having low white blood cell counts while on treatment, but not before. You probably have another underlying condition. Granulocytosis means an excess of granulocytes (white blood cells such as eosinophils, basophils, & nuetrophils) , so the terms seem contradictory (but I'm not a doctor). My best guess would be that if you decided to do treatment (if the doctor determines you are a candidate), you would need to have shots of nuepogen ( a white blood cell booster) right from the beginning, since your counts are so low. Best wishes to you.
