What Do My Blood Test Results Indicate?
Question: My reports showed Predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes. What does that mean? Also 2 months back I had taken Happi D tablet which reacted in my body and got swollen half face. Now also I get a swollen face and rashes. Are these symptoms related to the result?
Brief Answer:
Possible Mixed Anemia.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern.
Happi-D is not related to the side effects you have mentioned.
The blood picture you mentioned represents mixed or dual anemia.
This is caused by a deficiency of both Iron/folic acid as well as Vit B12 levels.
For confirmation, I advise you to get Vit D and serum ferritin levels along with Hb%.
Based on the results, oral/parenteral supplementation of Iron-folic acid and B12 can be given.
I also request you to provide me with your age, gender for better assessment.
The swollen face and could be due to water retention in the body.
This needs a complete ultrasound abdomen, Renal function test and Complete Urine analysis to rule out major kidney related issues.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
