Dear Doctor, Due to my father's high blood viscosity, suspicion of polycythemia arises, necessitating blood draws every 3 weeks to maintain appropriate levels. At 69 years old, he experiences symptoms such as skin itching, swelling, head numbness, and fatigue. Currently, his JAK2 V617F mutation showed 0.8 then 1.2%, with JAK2 exon 12 negative and EPO at 13.4. Abdominal CT and chest X-ray are normal. After a few months of phlebotomy, his levels normalized. Now, we await the bone marrow biopsy results, which do not confirm Polycythemia Vera: "Microscopic description: The bone marrow biopsy sample shows somewhat hypocellular hematopoietic parenchyma relative to age, which is terminally mature. Myeloid ratio is 2:1 with dominance of late precursors; no blast cells are noted. The number of megakaryocytes is normal with no clustering. There is no interstitial fibrosis or lymphoid infiltrate. Diagnosis: Mature, hypocellular hematopoietic parenchyma without myeloproliferative features. Cytogenetic analysis confirmed male karyotype; no clonal chromosomal abnormalities detected. Indication for examination D7510 Secondary polycythemia Note Submicroscopic rearrangements, small structural chromosomal aberrations, DNA-level differences cannot be ruled out with the method used." I am quite confused as JAK2 positivity typically suggests PV, yet the biopsy suggests otherwise, possibly indicating secondary polycythemia. Could you please clarify based on this information what you personally think is more likely, Polycythemia Vera or another secondary cause? Thank you very much for your help.

Male | 67

Your father's symptoms and test results do suggest some complexity. The presence of JAK2 mutation often points towards Polycythemia Vera (PV), but the bone marrow biopsy does not show typical myeloproliferative features, suggesting it might be secondary polycythemia instead. Consult a hematologist, specializing in blood disorders, and can provide a more accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

Am 16 and I am severely underweight and really low iorn like it's 74.4 and my hemoglobin droped from 14 to 10 and too i feel dizzy many times

Female | 16

It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms due to low iron levels and decreased hemoglobin. This can lead to feelings of dizziness and fatigue, as your body isn’t getting enough oxygen. Underweight issues might also contribute to poor nutrition. To improve your situation, focus on a balanced diet rich in iron sources like leafy greens, beans, lean meats, and fortified cereals. Alongside dietary changes, consider foods high in vitamin C to enhance iron absorption. It’s essential to speak with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your condition and possibly recommend supplements or further tests for personalized care.

Red blood ce­lls are important. Too many is not good. A level of 5.10 is a bit high. That can happe­n for different reasons. Maybe­ you didn't drink enough water. Or maybe you smoke­. Some medical issues like­ polycythemia can also cause it. You might fee­l tired, dizzy, or get headache­s. To fix it, drink lots of water. Don't smoke. Follow your doctor's advice.

You might have a sickle­ cell crisis happening. Sickle-shape­d blood cells can clog vessels, blocking oxyge­n. Headaches, stomach pains, and vomiting signal this crisis. If vomit's gree­n or yellow, it's bile from your stomach. Head to the­ hospital for treatment.

Hello doc. Can an adult male contract hiv if he ingested breast milk of an infected person.

Male | 32

The likelihood of an adult male contracting HIV through consuming infected breast milk is extremely low but not impossible. HIV typically spreads through specific fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. Symptoms of HIV may include fatigue, fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes, though many remain asymptomatic initially. If you have concerns about potential exposure, consider consulting a healthcare professional for guidance and testing. Remember, early detection and treatment can greatly improve health outcomes, so seeking expert advice is always a wise choice.

Is 3.5 mmol/l cholesterol is normal

Male | 37

When you have 3.5 mmol/l cholesterol, that is okay. Cholesterol is like fat in your blood. If your cholesterol is high, there are usually no signs. An unhealthy diet, not doing enough exercise, and a family history can cause this condition. To stay healthy with it being normal eat well and exercise regularly also if necessary take some drugs from the doctor.

Female | 29

High ESR is a sign of inflammation or the presence of an infection, but it doesn’t always mean that it will be passed on to your baby through breastfeeding. In the majority of cases, infections can't be transmitted by the mothers through breast milk. It is very important that you observe your symptoms, for instance, fever or any unusual weariness, and seek advice from your health provider for specific instructions and treatment options.

My uric acid test report 5.9 please tell me ok not ok

Male | 29

The uric acid level of 5.9 is already above normal. It might remain asymptomatic at first, yet if untreated, it may lead to gout, which is characterized by pain and swelling in the joints. Your uric acid level can be decreased by drinking more water, avoiding alcohol, and less red meat and seafood. Besides this method, exercising regularly may also be beneficial.
