Posted on Mon, 21 Sep 2015

Please help me

Brief Answer:
The report is absolutely normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Welcome to HCM

I have read the blood test report and in my opinion the blood report is absolutely normal and there is no need to worry.

In the report the Haemoglobin is 16.8 and is slightly raised. It can't be considered in abnormal range. Thought the higher range varies between different labs but as per standard guidelines range of more than 17.5 is considered as high. So no need to worry.

PCV is also high that can be expected because of high haemoglobin.

These parameters can become high due to chronic hypoxic states. Even in smokers rise in haemoglobin can occur. Dehydration can also cause haemoglobin to rise. So over all the report is fine. Absolutely no need to worry.

Thanks, Take care. If you have more to ask please ask again.

The counts are normal

Hello again and thanks for asking again

RBC counts 5.8 are slightly raised and that is corresponding to haemoglobin. So no need to worry about that.

WBC counts of 9700 are absolutely normal. No need to worry.

Thanks
