Brief Answer:
Tests posted are that of complete blood count which is not specific to determine your concern, Renal Function Test & consultation with cardiologist required to determine your concern..

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on Health Care Magic.

The parameters posted by you are that of complete blood counts (CBC).

The CBC results are showing a normal hemoglobin, normal red cell count, normal red cell indices, normal white blood cell count and a normal platelet count.

If there is any symptom or sign of cardiac or kidney disease, you should consult a cardiologist for cardiovascular system examination and take up renal function tests (RFT) for renal disease. You can also post those results here if already done to let me check them for you..

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri

I am concerned because my Wbc/Rbc are near the lower limit and have been consistently low throughout the last 2 years of tests. I like to be proactive, is my concern valid?

Answered by Dr. Shailja Puri (10 hours later)

Brief Answer:
RBC and WBC are within range despite being on lower side of range.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
The RBC and RBC may be on lower side but are in normal range for age and sex.
These value do not indicate any disease despite being on the lower side of the range.
There is nothing to worry.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
