My 32 year old son s lab work for the last 9 months has shown to be borderline anemic. This months lab was even lower with the RBC 4.0, HGB 12., HCT 36, Neutrophils 41 and Lymphocytes 47. His doctor has ordered additional lab work stating that she needed to work this up further. He is 5 11 and weighs 180#. He is very active with working 12-14 hrs a day at a shipyard and hikes and camps on the weekends. He has had HTN since he was 18 years old. He eats healthy, rarely eats red meat. I am an RN and don t understand what this could be. Family Hx: heart disease, RA, Lung Cancer.
