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 confused about my recent blood test results. My RBC count came out to be 5.88 million per cubic millimeter, and the report states the normal max range is 5.6 millioncu mm. But when I looked it up online, I found that for men, the max range can be up to 6.1 millioncu mm. I'm trying to figure out which range is correctshould I be worried that mine is slightly above the report's limit, or is it actually within the normal range according to other sources?
