My rheumatologist is not concerned at all as it is caused by the medication and therefore normal that it's low. Then again, my rheumatologist told me yesterday that having a pleural effusion and pneumothorax is just an inconvenience of lupus ? should he be concerned if it gets too low? I assume yes but what is considered too low???
He pays more attention to my liver and kidney function. This is why he changed my medication at the beginning of March and the reason why I went back in the normal range.
At least I get the results the day after the blood test and consult Dr. Google as to what is normal and what abnormal results can mean....especially when something that was normal is now abnormal.
On the results site, I can even view the trend of the results which is nice and very useful
