Usually a finding : Most consistent with aging but should be evaluated with some simple blood and urine testing by your doctor as sometimes it can be an early sign of several other conditions.

Increased blood cell: As we age, our marrow should decreased production of blood cells and become fatty. This process can reverse (reconversion) for many reasons. The most common is a mild anemia; the most common reason for this is tobacco use. You will likely need some more testing to make sure nothing is wrong.
