normal lab variations seen, no medical treatment required
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in. I have gone through the uploaded report with diligence.
There are a few normal lab variations that are seen, they definitely, do not require medical treatment as of now. You can repeat the test after 3 months, if you desire.
Elaborating the report:
ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE PHOTOMETRY 99.7 U/l There is a slight increase in this value as you see it. However, this is not clinically significant. Just ignore this test value.
The eosinophils are high at 8 but are not significant. Do not worry about this as the Absolute Eosinophil count is normal at 0.66 X 1000/Microliter. Upto 0.7 is normal clinically.
RBC is normal, although on the higher side. Do nothing about this. Her Hemoglobin is normal, so that is a good sign.
MCHC is also normal, although it is showing lesser value.
If at all you feel your wife needs medical treatment, you can give her a single dose of Tablet Albendazole 400mg to be chewed after food. This is a prescription drug for deworming her intestines. Worms in the intestines can sometimes cause increase in eosinophil count.
In my opinion, she does not require any medical treatment.
Hope you find the answer helpful. Let me know if you have more queries.
