Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Have Blood Report. Can Any Online Doctor Help Me To Read It?
CBC shows slightly low hemoglobin , low MCV but high RBC hgb 12.1 (13.2-17.1), mcv 64.4 (80-100), mch 20.1 (27-33), rbc 6.03 (4.2-5.8) Not necessarily looking for a diagnosis given the lack of detail but, rather, an explanation on how you can have lots of red blood cells but low hemoglobin -- what is the process there? Thank you!
