Thank you very much answer.

Is it normal to have this variation in my blood.
I was afraid after getting the results in my hand. After searching on internet i found different possibile diseases like cancer with same symptoms.

Will the RBC and WBC count increase with this medicine?
Do i need to check my blood again to confirm that i have no problem?
Also please tell me, is there any problem with albumin traces.

I will visit my doctor tomorrow, but still it will be helpful if you answer to my these questions.

Again
Thank you

Your findings doesn't suggest cancer.

Detailed Answer:
Hello

There is no need to be panicky.This variation is normal.
Cancer has many other findings like hugely elevated WBC count,immature cells etc depending upon type of cancer.Your findings doesn't suggest this.

RBC and WBC count will not increase with these medicine.
I don't think you will require retest.

Trace amount of albumin is normally found in urine.
