Question 2

I've been feeling okay, no fever or injuries, but I'm still a bit concerned. I recently got my blood work done, and my white blood cell count is at 11.8k and platelet count is 11.5 lakh. Not sure if this is something to worry about. What could be causing these numbers to be on the higher side?

Accepted Answer

Your bilirubin levels show a mild elevation, which can be caused by various factors such as:

Liver inflammation or injury
Hemolytic anemia
Gilbert's syndrome

Your ASTSGOT and ASTSGPT levels are slightly elevated, indicating mild liver stress.

Consult your doctor to discuss the results and determine the underlying cause.

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?
