Question 1

high rcdw in a blood test. is it bad?

Accepted Answer

Big picture: Red cell size distribution width can be high simply from donating blood, or from early iron deficiency before anemia or any of several non-problems. And reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthies fall outside. Your history, physical exam and other labs are what matter; ignore a lone high rdw.

Question 2

what is a high osmo calc 282 blood test?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Laboratories report calculate osmolarity based on electrolyte levels, BUN and Glucose. 282 is a normal level. If your doctor has any concern, s/he can ask for a measured value of osmolarity. In some instances the gap between the calucated and measured values provides additional information.

Question 3

what does "above high normal" mean on a blood test?

Accepted Answer

Numbers are numbers: Numbers are just numbers, so the significance of them must be looked at in the context of a patient&#x27;s real-life situation. From a purely numbers point of view, &quot;above high normal&quot; usually means that only ~3% of the NORMAL people in the community get that test result, and the other 97% of the NORMAL people in the community would get a lower result. Some people with a &quot;mildly high&quot; are not normal.

Question 4

what can a high (3%) atypical lymphs blood test mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing specific: By itself atypical lymph cells just suggest a recent or current viral infection. It may show up on random tests of healthy people. In the absence of information that would suggest otherwise it is just a variant of normal.

Question 5

what does high gra# and high gra% mean on a blood test?

Accepted Answer

Granulocytes: Granulocytes are mostly neutrophils, the cells that are most lethal most quickly to bacteria. Ignore the percentages. Look to see if the absolute numbers # are high or low.  I can raise my granulocyte # to four times normal by spending twenty minutes in an icy-cold shower (i tried it); labs mean nothing apart from the clinical context. Good luck.

Question 6

Question 7

ly     53.1  from   51.1    h

is there any trouble or not ?

Accepted Answer

Not based on the: Counts. A change from 51.1 to 53.1 is not clinically meaningful. It would help to know more. 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.

Question 10

what does high mxd levels mean on blood test . ?

Accepted Answer

Mono&#x27;s, Eo&#x27;s, Baso&#x27;s: Of the 5 main types of white blood cells, the amount of neutrophils and lymphocytes helps us decide whether an infection is bacterial vs. viral. The other 3 types of white blood cells (monocytes, eosinophils, basophils) are sometimes counted together as the &quot;mixed cell count&quot; or MXD blood test. In the US, we don&#x27;t count them together as the MXD, but we look at mono&#x27;s, eo&#x27;s, and baso&#x27;s separately.
