I've just gotten my blood test results back, and everything looks normal except for a high level of plateletcrit, sitting at 3.30 mLL. I don't have any other symptoms right now, but should I be concerned about this? What could it mean, and is there something specific I should do or look out for?

I'm a bit worried about my recent lab results. My neutrophils are low at 46 and my lymphocytes are a bit high at 50. My ferritin is really low at 16 ngml, but my H. Pylori IgG and IgA are negative. Should I be concerned about the low ferritin or the imbalance between my neutrophils and lymphocytes? Everything else like WBC, RBC, and platelets is normal, but I'm not sure about these few things. Can you help me understand what these mean for my health?

Since your H.Pylori IgG and IgA tests are negative, there is no evidence of an active H.Pylori infection. Overall, your results indicate a mild imbalance in your immune cell counts, but nothing alarming. It would be advisable to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if needed.
