Brief Answer:
There is nothing to worry about!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this lab findings and all the inconveniences this caused you. There is no reason to get worried at this time. I have reviewed the findings and there is nothing consistently wrong to suggest a disease condition. For now, do nothing and only control these laboratory findings in 3months. If at that time we still have numbers out of the normal, we may want to explore further. At this time, with no symptoms and results like you uploaded, monitoring is all I recommend.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

thank you doctor. I just want to ask what caused the abnormal reports? we have a history of Anemia in the family, that's why I was so terrified upon receiving these reports, caused me to read some articles trying to find an answer, I read that such lab reports like this indicates anemia or leukemia, im really bothered.

as you said doc, I have to control these findings in the next 3moths, any suggestions on how to do that? and also, you also mentioned no symptoms, what are the symptoms or signs that I should watch out for?

Brief Answer:
Not anemia....Not leukemia!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

with a hemoglobin of 13.5, this is not anemia. Your WBC are very low to be considered suggestive of leukemia.

At this time, I will like you to look for fevers, night sweats, body weakness, loss of appetite and weight loss. If you don't have these symptoms, there is very little to be worried about.

Until next, I wish you well
