The red blood cells will be harmless because they lack antibodies which can create any impact on the blood cells

Take a Ceruloplasmin Test Test or Take a RBC INDICES (MCV, MCH & MCHC) Test

What does a low lymphocyte blood test mean?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I was diagnosed with CML (chronic phase) in February and started Veenat 400 from March 6th, with my WBC counts remaining stable at around 5000 and my 6 month BCR ABL result being 0.953 percent. However, since July, I have been experiencing persistent mouth sores that have not improved with different remedies. My question is, what is the best way to manage this? Should I stop Veenat for a week and restart, switch to a second-generation drug, or temporarily move to a second generation drug and later return to the first generation one? My main concern is whether taking a break from Veenat will negatively affect my long term treatment goals and the possibility of achieving deep molecular remission at one year.
