Today's Daily Dose: Bone marrow sample collection
When is bone marrow aspiration indicated?
Untitled Document
“The primary indication for bone marrow aspiration is abnormal complete blood count results. Once extra-marrow causes have been excluded, abnormalities, such as nonregenerative anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or the presence of immature blast cells or mature cells with atypical morphology, should prompt bone marrow evaluation.”
