Welcome to Connect, @trarenrut. Typically, phlebotomies are done with patients who have polycythemia vera (PV) and have elevated hematocrit and red blood counts. Because a phlebotomy involves drawing blood, it can lead to a temporary decrease in white blood cell counts due to the removal of blood volume. But it’s not done to lower white blood counts specifically.
Has your red blood count continued to increase?
