[|AI|]  HI... I appreciate the fact that all tests have been done to know the cause of anemia. But has the hemoglobin electrophoresis been done before giving blood transfusions as it is crucial for diagnosing hemoglobinopathy or hemolytic anemia. I would also like to know if direct Combs test and relic count have been done or not. These are indirect pointers towards hemolysis and that of bone marrow function. ANA might throw some light on autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Bone marrow biopsy is one good test which will be crucial for diagnosis as the blood components are produced in the body in the marrow only.
