You need a hematolog: A good hematologist is what you need in order to guide you.These tests have some inherent limitations and can be erroneous. So only a good hematologist can guide you further. I do not get excited unless the abnormality is peristant and progressively increasing. If it does not do so, it is unlikely to be real. But go see a hematologist.
