A member asked:
Does 3.7 rbc, 391 platelets, and 13 anion gap show signs of kidney problems?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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, none of these results pertain to kidney function. Your doctor can get serum creatinine and urine protein tests, if kidney disorder is a consideration. Wish you good health!

I am a kidney specialist but I do not understand why you specifically pointed out these numbers. I will try to explain these 3 numbers you mentioned. 3.7 RBC and 391 by your CBC mean slightly low red cell count (mild anemia) and normal platelet count. Anemia is usually seen in patient with chronic kidney disease. Anion gap of 13 is slightly abnormal, may also be seen in patient with kidney disease
