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

I'm trying to understand my blood test results and I'm a bit confused about some of the terms. It mentions that my RBC is normocytic normochromic with mild anisopoikilocytosis and that my WBC has a lymphocytic predominance with mild eosinophilia. The report also says that my platelets are adequate on the smear. Could you help explain what this all means? I'm feeling a bit worried about these findings.

My PTT is 24.132 and PT is 19.8 with a range of 10.45-13.17, plus my INR is 1.66. What treatment can help bring these levels back to normal? Should I be concerned about these results? I'm scheduled for a minor hydrocele removal surgery is it safe to proceed with these numbers?

greetings. PTT,PT are raised thatis clotting time will be increased. It must be dueto liver problem, some hepatitis, or liver damage due to alcohol r NFLIVER damage. Please ask the hematologists. Though hernia is minor and short operation, but still ask hematologists
