see below: Your MCHC is normal (0.18% is insignificant) however your eosinophil count suggests a parasitic infection. You need your stool checked for ova and parasites.

Hello. I am a 27 year old male. I recently had my blood work done, and I found out that while my Hemoglobin level is normal (14.2 g/dl), my MCV and MCH are low (MCV= 69.8 FL. MCH = 23.3 pg). MCHC is normal too (33.3%). Is this normal or dangerous?

A member asked:

My blood test came back: RBC 3.99; MCV 99.0; MCH 31.3; MCHC 31.6. All other blood tests are normal. What could this be? I have RA and ILD and take Enbrel and Cellcept. Could these cause this?

A member asked:

Had blood work done for allergies. Eosinophils absolute result of 0.1 x10E3/uL, or 0.11 k/uL, is this normal? What exactly does this test result show? So confused by it. Eusinophil % is 1.6, WBC is 6.9. Seems to be in normal range, is this true?

A member asked:

A recent blood test showed my Eosinophil count was 0.0 10*9/L. Is this dangerously low - rest of FBC normal. Can this be caused by Flecainide/Warfarin?

A member asked:
