Additional treatment options

Nutritional Support for Hematopoiesis

Dietary optimization with adequate protein, vitamins B12, folate, and iron to support bone marrow function. Nutritional deficiencies can contribute to abnormal leukocyte production.

dietary

Infection Prevention Strategies

Education on hygiene practices, food safety, and early infection recognition. Reduces morbidity from opportunistic infections when leukocyte function is impaired.
