Slow Lymphocyte Recovery After ASCT?
AI-generated title
Wondering if anyone else has any insight into having low lymphocyte counts following an autologous stem cell transplant? My counts have stayed around 0.75 x 10⁹/L (normal range for this lab is 1.5 c 10⁹/L)
My hematologist/oncologist isn't concerned and told me it often takes a few years for these numbers to get back to normal (and that sometimes they stay low). My other numbers climbed back up to more or less normal soon after the transplant, though my hemoglobin is a little under normal range. I don't have any symptoms, and I haven't been prone to infection any more than prior to the ASCT.
The only thing I can find in my research regarding lymphocyte counts post-transplant is that it's sometimes a prognostic indicator. Anyone else have more insight? I'm endlessly curious.
