Brief Answer:
Your WBCs are low.....I will like to see the entire report!

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

Your report doesn't look ideal and needs more attention. The WBC are low and Eos are higher than expected. I will like to get the results uploaded fully for a more comprehensive interpretation. I will then also make suggestions as to what some possible causes. If you have any other reports or symptoms, please report them to me.

Hi there,

Thank you for the prompt response. Here is the report. I really dont have any symptoms and am rarely in poor health. I probably have plantar fascitis and slightly elevated chlorestrol (236) but am otherwise healthy.

Brief Answer:
Thanks so much!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this detailed result.

The WBC is in the normal range according to the lab. Therefore my main concern is just the eosinophils and basophils which are somewhat high. However, this is often caused by an allergy and I will like to know if there are any such illnesses of concern to you. I will also like to know what were the reasons behind you doing these laboratory tests.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to keep the discussion going.

Thank you once again. I asked for the tests because I was checking my LDL/HDL for insurance purposes so I just asked for a more extensive view of my profile.

My metabolic profile is all within the norm. My TSH is within norm but on the high end. I don't think I have an allergy. Have a mild lactose issue but I really have had a near perfect health record. Smoked in my youth but not in 35 years. Last blood pressure was 105/70. I exercise. I'm an oil painter--but I don't know what the allergy symptoms to chemicals would be.
I had an ear cartilage piercing that would not heal (no infection) and so I took that out today-(a metal allergy??). I was thinking about getting the bloodwork repeated in two weeks. What do you think?

Answered by Dr. Ivo Ditah (19 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Yes, ,get it repeated!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Am happy to know you are in good health and this these findings would be more of incidental. I Will recommend that you go ahead and repeat them as you suggested. If these abnormalities persist, then at that time I will want to be more aggressive towards looking for answers as to why these not typical findings.

I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. Until next, I wish you well.
