Question: is this the way bloodwork Normally reads? all labs are within normal limits right? they sent me home on my discharge with this

Answered by Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis (42 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

the report is almost unreadable but I've managed to read the main parts (white and red blood cell count, platelet count, mcv and some less important indices). They are completely normal. Regarding the hematocrit, I can say that it is within the normal range but you'll have to compare it with previous test reports. Some people may have 40% (normal) while others may have 48% (normal as well). If you used to have a value close to 50%, then 42% is too low and investigation would be required. The white blood cell and the platelet count may vary so a comparison between reports is not very useful.

I hope I've answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Kind Regards,

Brief Answer:
not important

Detailed Answer:
The MPV is not of the same importance as the rest of the indices. Since everything else is normal, you shouldn't worry about it.
