Question 1

High monocytes 3 yrs (2020 -15.7%) (2021-15.5% with 0.97 absolute) (dec. 22 18.6% with 1.26 absolute). plt & rbc smear normal. 86 yo female. all other blood components normal, rbc, wbc and platelets. was reading about cml? amc lab range is 0.00-0.90?

Accepted Answer

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your results are not a cause for concern.    Wish you good health!

Question 2

Dr said lab results are normal. rbc 5.24 is higher than range &urinalysis showed caox 1 + and clarity: sl cloudy higher than range. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

What is your hemoglobin level? If that is normal, do not be concerned about RBC count. Calcium oxalate crystal in urine warrants that you drink more water. See the suggestion below:
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 3

32 yr, aa female. low: hgb, hmt, mch, mchc, mcv, vit d; normal: rbc, iron panel (except iron sat); high: rdw, plt count, retic. i've been on vit d (3 months) and prenatals (6 months). i received packed cells 4 months ago, now i'm back to square 1?

Accepted Answer

Your blood test results are somewhat confusing to sort out the cause (s) of anemia from them, not straightforward.  Would like to advise to seek an another opinion or see a blood disease specialist.

Question 4

I had a blood test for a routine checkup and my rbc,hgb and mchc were slightly lower than normal. rbc was 4.16 (normal range 4.2-5.4) hgb was 11.9 (normal range 12-15) and mchc was 31.8 (normal range 32-36) i was on my period day 6. is this alarming?

Accepted Answer

No, this is not unusual. Those values are practically normal, and it is not unusual for a woman who still has menses to run a little low. You may consider eating food that contains iron and even taking an iron supplement. See you are gynecologist if you have excessive bleeding. Good luck.

Question 5

High monocytes 3 years. 15.7%, 15.5% with 0.97 absolute and now 18.6% with 1.26 absolute. smear normal. any clues why? 86 yo female. all other blood components normal, rbc, wbc and platelets. was reading about cml and heart issues?

Accepted Answer

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your results are not a cause for concern.    Wish you good health!

Question 6

What do doctors consider normal rbc levels?

Accepted Answer

Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying portion in the red blood cells; hematocrit is the proportion of the blood that consists of packed red blood cells, expressed as a percentage by volume. A normal hemoglobin is  @ 13 and a normal hematocrit is @ 40 – although there is a range based on age, gender and medical conditions.  A low hemoglobin and hematocrit  is called anemia.

Question 7

What is indicated for low haematocrit, but high mchc and normal rbc count?

Accepted Answer

These results do not provide enough information to know the cause of anemia and therefore it isn't possible to suggest treatment. Discuss with your doctor. If there is any doubt about her expertise, see a hematologist. Good luck.

Question 8

Med student .
my hematocrit level = 4-6 % above normal ..
rbc count = way above normal ( i suspect mistake in counting)
possible reasons?

Accepted Answer

You are  medical student..Set up for many worries...Hg has a range of normalcy. What about platelets and white cells? I prefer that you show the complete count  to any of your professors and have peace of mind. Residents in high elavations have high hg...And smokers too!

Question 9

What does having low hb, hct, mcv, mch, mchc & high rdw but normal rbc & ferritin mean?
hb 10(11.2-14.1) 
rbc 4.15(3.85-5.02) 
ferritin 5.7(4.6-204)

Accepted Answer

It means you have an iron deficiency leading to anemia.  It could be not enough iron in your diet to replace menstrual losses but you should check with your doctor to be sure and to receive a recommendation for treatment.

Question 10

Mcv 69, mch 22.6, mchc 32.7 (low), high rdw 16.1. hg/hct normal. rbc 6.45 (high). numbers have declined over past 7 months. iron norm. what is cause?

Accepted Answer

All lab results need to be evaluated in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that. It would also help to have the actual results of iron studies. Iron deficiency is a common cause of microcytic hypochromia. Mild thalassemia being another one. If your results are improving, recovery from iron deficiency is a likely explanation.
