I saw Dr. DeRidder with Riverside Hematology/Oncology 7/19/2023. During the appointment, I had 12 vials of blood drawn to check for multiple Hypercoagulable conditions.
Per Dr. DeRidder, if the testing comes back showing that I have an underlying hypercoagulable state, then it would be discussed to add Eliquis to my medications in an effort to prevent further thrombosis. If the testing fails to reveal an underlying hypercoagulable state, then I would need to continue on the daily Aspirin and further management with Cardiology and Neurology.
My iron levels were the first results to come back. I do have an iron deficiency and was advised to begin taking an iron supplement.
Over the next 1-2 weeks, more results came back.
From the looks of things, it seems all of my bloodwork with the exception of the Iron levels are normal. I have a follow up in 2 weeks and I will go from there!
