Yes definitely as soon as you can..see a hematologist ...Who ordered this lab work and what have they said? What are your platelets? As soon as you can see a hemotologist your lab numbers are clearly not right....

My hematologist just ordered 9 different blood tests. He is checking for polycythemias. I have had microcitic Erythrocytosis ever since I can remember but these high levels of red cells and HCT are new. I should know more by the end of the week.
The labs were ordered by my cardiologist.

I have a ten of hematologists. It could be MDS disease. but not sure.
