Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / November 2006Blood test -week 34
My HGB came back 11.4. It was 11.7 last time. I think that could just be lab error though. It very much looks like I'm going to get through the entire course of treatment without severe anemia. Thank God. > My HGB came back 11.4. It was 11.7 last time. I think that could just > be lab error though. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thank God. YAY for you!!! My hemoglobin had dropped so I had to add a shot for that and that particular shot (aranesp) is so painful that I was thinking that maybe anemia might be better then enduring 41 more weeks of them, lol, ah well. I am glad you are surviving well and your blood work is cooperating too. Ally > > My HGB came back 11.4. It was 11.7 last time. I think that could just > > be lab error though.

I'll post the evidence for all to see. > BTW, I think Ive discovered how B-12 and B-6 supplements can offset > some of the anemia , and I think I can prove it with my blood tests. > When I get time. I'll post the evidence for all to see. Evidence will be interesting, but there seems to be a lot of variables additional to B-12 and B-6 intake. I understand Hct and Hmg levels vary normally, thus time itself can account for some up and down in those values. My care provider explained that for HCV pts on tx, HCt & Hmg values often rebound somewhat after plunging to moderate anemia levels; it can depend a lot on simply how well you adapt to the continual presence of the antivirals. That said, I know I took B-12, B-6, Folic acid, and lots of concentrated tomato in the hope that doing so would help *offset* the tendency for the ribavirin to make my blood flow as clear as pond water. > > BTW, I think Ive discovered how B-12 and B-6 supplements can offset > > some of the anemia , and I think I can prove it with my blood tests.
