What Causes Low Hemoglobin And WBC Count?
Hi,
I'm an 18 year old female, and I have been having some problems. I'm constantly sick ,tired all the time, and eating less. I got a monospot and bloodwork done. The mono spot came back negative. But, MANY things came back low or high. I'm just concerned if it means or points to anyhting. All the things to are low are WBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MPV, Absolute Neutrophils, Absolute Monos, Neutrophils, Monos, Creatine, Bilirubin Total. I had high readings in Lymphs, Ast, and Alt. I just want to make sure its nothing serious, because it was a lot of things that was off. I know I'm anemic, but if it means anything else I would love to know.
Thank you,
Brandi.

Hi
Based on your query and findings, my opinion is as follows.
1. Low Hemoglobin means anemia. There is also a low hematocrit which is suggestive of anemia.
2. Low WBC is most often seen in viral infection especially with increase in lymphocytes.
3. Decrease in neutrophils is due to a relative increase in lymphocytes.
4. Counts will come to normal with control of infection.
5. You need to get evaluated for anemia thoroughly and start with medications to correct anemia.
6. AST and ALT raise is not significant, which will settle with control of infection.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good health.
