Brief Answer:
Do not worry;should look at the reference range of your lab...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
First, I need to have the full blood work reports because I need to have a look at the reference range that your lab is using.
Overall, your white and red cells are within normal level.
Do not worry about the numbers, because they will differ based on:
- health problems you might have or recovering from any health problem at the time you had the blood work (infection, trauma, etc.)
- if you have been dehydrated (other parameters should be looked into)
- if you were passing your monthly period or just passed
Looking forward to have the full blood work reports for a more specific opinion!
