Hi Tami

According to the book of words (the Route Map for Vasculitis) "haemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Measuring the Hb level is useful to detect a low red blood cell count (anaemia)".

I don't know anything about calcort but CellCept (Mycophenolate) does have an increased risk of bone marrow suppression (low white cell count and anaemia).

Therefore, maybe what the results are showing is that your daughter is at some time anaemic. Have you spoken to your doctor about the results?
