Could you please review my blood count report?
The CBC report suggests iron deficiency.PBS and iron profile is suggested
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your complete blood count (CBC) report.
The blood report shows low hemoglobin and low red blood cell indices i.e. MCV, MCH and MCHC.
The CBC suggests anemia due to iron deficiency and few further investigations are suggested for confirmation - peripheral blood smear (PBS) examination and iron profile which includes iron, TIBC, % saturation and ferritin.
In case of iron deficiency,iron supplements need to be given to correct the deficiency.
However, iron deficiency is rare in adult males.
Underlying cause for iron deficiency also needs to be found out by general physical examination by your physician.
Thanks and take care
