Posted on Mon, 24 Nov 2014

Question: Hi, this question if for my 85 year old Mom. She is currently taking blood pressure medicine, and clonazepam, but that is all. She is not overweight and doesn't smoke. She recently had yearly blood work done and she picked up her report from medical records and there are some highs and lows on her report and I would like to know what these mean. Her WBC is low, it is 4.7. Her MCHC is low and is 32.3. Her MVP is high and is 12.8. What do these mean and are do they need to be looked into?

HI XXXXXXX

Greeting from Dr. Divakara.P
First of all thanks for choosing Healthcaremagic for posting your query.

A normal WBC count ranges from 4000-11000 and your mother's count is 4,700 which is well within the normal range.

Coming to her MCHC , Normal range is 32 - 36 grams/deciliter and even that is normal .

I am not understanding what is MVP, kindly use proper term or better is Upload the report.

Hope you find this information useful.

Any clarification feel free to ask.

Regards.
