I'm curious about blood group compatibility for marriage. Both my partner and I have A positive blood types. Could this lead to any issues or concerns we should be aware of?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In general, there are no significant concerns or complications for a marriage between two individuals with A+ positive blood groups, as they share the same ABO blood type and Rh positivity, minimizing the risk of blood transfusion reactions or hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) in their offspring

View allMy mom's hemoglobin is at 5.9. Is that critical? Should we think about admitting her to the hospital today, or is it safe to wait until Monday? I'm really worried and unsure what to do.
A hemoglobin level of 5.9 is quite low and could be critical, especially if your mother is showing symptoms like weakness, dizziness, or shortness of breath. It's important to seek immediate medical attention, ideally today, to avoid complications, as this may require urgent intervention.

I'm looking at my blood work results and I have a few concerns. It mentions predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes, and the platelets seem adequate on the smear. There's a bunch of numbers too: WBC is 8.74, Neutrophils are 59.7, Lymphocytes 34.9, Monocytes 2.5, Eosinophils 2.4, and Basophils 0.2. Then it lists the absolute counts like Neutrophil absolute count at 5.22 and Lymphocyte absolute count at 3.05. My RBC is 5.24 and Haemoglobin is 15.5. Platelet count is 155, with some measurements called PDW at 18.2, MPV at 12.8, and PLCR at 46.1. Is there something here to be cautious about? Do I need any treatment or should I be focusing on anything specific regarding these results? I'm not on any medications at the moment.
Low HB (9.8) and RBC (3.89) indicate anemia. High ESR (88) suggests inflammation or infection. Possible causes: - Chronic infection (e.g., TB, osteomyelitis) - Autoimmune disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus) - Chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., Crohn's, ulcerative colitis) - Malignancies (e.g., lymphoma, multiple myeloma) Consult a hematologist or a general physician to: - Investigate underlying causes - Conduct further tests (e.g., iron studies, vitamin B12, folic acid) - Develop a treatment plan

I'm a bit worried about my health lately. I recently had a throat infection and although I'm feeling better now, my haemoglobin is at 9.5. My other CBC tests seem normal. I had a baby via cesarean section back in September 2016. Could you help me understand why my ESR levels might be increasing?
ESR can be raised in a lot of conditions of inflammation. Need not worry about that. You can take a tab. Livogen once a day after food for a month and have a high protein diet. Consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.
