About Low RBC Count
Key Highlights
-
Accurate diagnosis of the specific type and cause of anemia.Personalized treatment plan tailored to the underlying condition.Prevention of complications associated with chronic low oxygen delivery, such as heart problems.Expert interpretation of complex blood tests and bone marrow studies.Management of both common and rare blood disorders.
Who is this surgery for?
- Persistent fatigue, weakness, or shortness of breath.
- Pale skin, dizziness, or cold hands and feet.
- Abnormal results on a routine complete blood count (CBC) showing low hemoglobin or hematocrit.
- Unexplained rapid heart rate (tachycardia).
- Signs of nutritional deficiency (e.g., poor diet) or chronic blood loss (e.g., heavy menstrual periods, gastrointestinal bleeding).
- Underlying chronic conditions like kidney disease, cancer, or autoimmune disorders.
How to prepare
- Compile a complete personal and family medical history, including any symptoms.
- Bring a list of all current medications, supplements, and vitamins.
- Fasting may be required for 8-12 hours before initial blood tests, depending on the tests ordered.
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the arm for blood draws.
- For a potential bone marrow biopsy, discuss any blood thinners or aspirin use with the doctor beforehand.
Risks & possible complications
- Risks are primarily associated with diagnostic tests, not the diagnosis itself. For blood draws: minor pain, bruising, or lightheadedness.
- For bone marrow biopsy (if needed): pain at the site, bleeding, infection, or very rarely, injury to nearby structures.
- If left untreated, the underlying anemia can lead to severe fatigue, heart complications like an enlarged heart or heart failure, and compromised immune function.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery from diagnostic blood tests is immediate; normal activities can be resumed right away.
- If a bone marrow biopsy is performed, rest is advised for 24-48 hours, avoiding strenuous activity.
- Keep the biopsy site clean and dry as instructed; watch for signs of infection.
- The primary recovery involves following the prescribed treatment plan (e.g., taking iron supplements, dietary changes, managing underlying disease).
- Follow-up blood tests are crucial to monitor the response to treatment and adjust therapy as needed.
-
Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient) or 1 day (if biopsy required)
-
Expected recovery time: Varies by cause; from days to months for blood counts to normalize with treatment

As a 72-year-old retired archaeologist with rare Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, I'd consulted specialists across Europe with no clear treatment path. Dr. Shimoni's revolutionary approach using targeted immunotherapy not only put my cancer in remission but allowed me to continue my fieldwork in Jordan just three months later.
