Why Do I Have High Hemoglobin Level And Hematocrit Level As Shown On Blood Work?
I am a 26 year old female whose blood work has come up with some things that have me worried. My RBC, Hemoglobin, & Hematocrit are all high. My MCHC is low.My WBC Esterase is 2+ abnormal, my WBC is 6-10 abnormal,and my Epithelial Cells (non renal) is >10 abnormal. I have a lot of history in my family with cancer. What does all of this mean and should I be worried?

hi, its all depend on your hb and rbcs level. how high is the level. and there are many cause other then cancer also which leads to high hb and hematocrit level. even simple dehydration can lead to that. and some serios disorder like polycythemia vera may be there. if your hb level remains persistently high then you should consult hematologist and take treatment accordingly. go for regular check up and take treatment accordinglt if needed.
