Three weeks ago my hgb was 8.4 and my platelets were 120.  The following week I had an Venofer infusion.  I had another infusion last week and a recheck of my blood.  My hgb only went up to 8.5 and my platelets dropped to 88.  Is the venofer not working?
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Increase in hemoglobin will take longer, usually up to a month.2. Reticulocyte count will confirm after fifteen days. Check it. If it's more than 4-5%, then veneer is working.3. Veneer has no action on platelet count. Get a peripheral blood smear for confirmation. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
