Is this blood report normal? I'm a 27-year-old male, and I've had a history of severe vitamin B12 and D deficiency that went untreated for a few years, though I completed the treatment. I still struggle with IBS, and I'm worried because my recent blood test showed some values out of range. My lymphocytes are at 43, RBC count is 4.5, hematocrit is 40.9, MCH is 33.7 pg, MCHC is 37.1, RDWCV is 14.8, platelets count is 169, sodium is 149, potassium is 5.1, and chloride is 107. Should I be concerned about these results, or are they something I should keep an eye on?

-The blood report shows some values slightly out of the normal range, particularly with lymphocyte count, MCH, MCHC, and electrolyte levels (sodium, chloride). These may be linked to your past vitamin deficiencies and ongoing IBS. It's advisable to discus

View allI'm a bit worried because my recent CBC test showed that my monocytes level is 13. My WBC count is normal at 4200, but I read online that having high monocytes can be related to cancer. Should I be concerned about this?
An elevated monocyte count does not always indicate cancer. Monocytosis can be caused by various factors such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammatory conditions. In your case, since your WBC count is within the normal range, it is less likely to be related to cancer. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and to determine the underlying cause of the elevated monocyte count. If needed, your doctor may recommend further tests or monitoring.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 55 and has been dealing with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura for years now. With everything going on, I'm wondering if it's safe for him to get the COVID vaccine. I've heard mixed things and just want to make sure it's okay for him to get vaccinated. Any advice?
Patients with Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) should consult with their healthcare provider before receiving the COVID vaccine. In general, individuals with ITP can receive the COVID vaccine, but it is important to monitor their platelet levels closely before and after vaccination. The vaccine brand and dosage can be determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient's individual health status and needs.
