What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?

default
Posted on Tue, 27 Oct 2015
Question: My husband has been under a doctor's care since 7/15/15. This is his latest CBC. I am unable to attend his appointments but I'm trying to understand what all of this means.

WBC Count     4.8 - 10.8 10*3/uL     11.4     H
RBC Count     4.60 - 6.20 10*6/uL     3.95     L
Hgb     14.0 - 18.0 g/dL     10.0     L
Hct     42.0 - 52.0 %     32.2     L
MCV     80.0 - 100.0 fL     81.5     
MCH     27.0 - 33.0 pg     25.3     L
MCHC     32.0 - 36.0 g/dL     31.1     L
Platelet Count     150 - 450 10*3/uL     413     
RDW     12.2 - 14.6 %     19.0     H
Neutrophils     45.0 - 75.0 %     78.5     H
Lymphocytes     19.0 - 46.0 %     12.3     L
Monocytes     2.0 - 12.0 %     6.9     
Eosinophils     0.0 - 4.0 %     2.1     
Basophils     0.0 - 1.5 %     0.2     
Immature Granulocytes     0 - 2 %     0.3     
The IG% includes immature cells indicative of a myeloid left
shift. NOT included in the IG% are bands and blasts. The IG%
has a strong negative predictive value in that if the IG% is
less than 2.0, you can be assured that there is not a
significant myeloid left shift. If the IG% is greater than
2.0, a manual differential will be performed in which bands
and immature myeloid cells will be separately enumerated.
Neutrophils Absolute     2.20 - 8.00 10*3/uL     8.97     H
Lymphocytes Absolute     0.90 - 5.00 10*3/uL     1.41     
Monocytes Absolute     0.20 - 0.80 10*3/uL     0.79     
Eosinophils Absolute     0.00 - 0.40 10*3/uL     0.24     
Basophils Absolute     0.00 - 0.40 10*3/uL     0.02     
Immature Granulocyte Absolute           0.04

Brief Answer:
His complete blood count report suggest mild infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Here you gave his complete blood count report.

It shows that his total wbc count is slightly high with high neutrophil count and low lymphocytes count. This type of findings are commonly seen in infection.

He has history of diabetic foot ulcer so he has high chance of developing infection. So he should take antibiotics treatment accordingly.

His hemoglobin is slightly low which may be due to kidney disease.

His platelet count, immature granulocytes and all other parameters are normal.

So from this we csn say that he has some infection and need antibiotics treatment.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
