[|Human|] My problem is that my blood system is not working right, at the moment, some months in fact causing me to have blood transfusion about every three weeks, iron I now ok but still not working, blood count ranges from 73,83, even after transfusion, so now trying Prednisolone 25mg if this might give the system a kick start. I am 87 years old and have never taken more than a light wine, this has just started this last year after a bowel operation for a cancerous node and a heart pacemaker this has occurred in the last year, prior to that I had een in good health
[|AI|]  Howell come to ChatDoctorYou have not specifically mentioned the clinical diagnosis for which you are in need of blood transfusion neither the value of hemoglobin is given here, there are certain medical conditions in which patients need blood transfusion, if the volume of blood decreases, if certain component of blood deficit, some pathological leaking or oozing of blood, in such condition underlying cause need to be treated, hope this information helps, take care.
