Answered on 29th Sept '24
Your CD19 level is 52, and you're dealing with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and myasthenia gravis (MG). Typically, Rituximab is considered when CD19 levels are 20 or lower. Symptoms of MCTD and MG include joint pain, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Rituximab may help by targeting specific immune cells. It's best to discuss with your doctor to see if it's right for you.

This is usually accompanied by symptoms such as high fever, intense headache, joint/muscle pain, and rash. According to the CBC report, there will be a low platelet count. A proper treatment plan includes getting a lot of rest, drinking enough water, and acetaminophen for fever and pain. In case of any prolonged symptoms, visit a hematologist.

I have fever and body pain before 4 day and yesterday I got blood test result WBC 2900 And neutrophils 71% I want know which type I have fever and which type medicine should be taken
Male | 24
You probably have bacteria making you sick. The blood tests found your white blood cells are low. However, your neutrophils, which fight infection, are high. In short, you have an infection. You need antibiotics from the doctor. Rest up. Drink fluids. Take medicine exactly as told. Listen to the doctor's instructions carefully.

I am 46 years old . In annual health check up in urine protine is traced & pus cell count found 18-20 . In complete blood picture (CBP) ,Eosinophils count and Absolute Eosinophil count is zero . In Lipid Profile HDL Cholesterol result is 37 is it serious or needs to consult to doctor
Female | 46
Finding protein and pus cells in your urine could mean an infection or kidney problem. Zero Eosinophils? That might show you're not responding well to certain allergies. And low HDL cholesterol puts you at higher risk for heart disease. It's smart to talk to a doctor about these results. They can take a closer look and tell you what to do next.

We have done routine test and in that asylum serum is increased at 142. Is it something to worry about
Male | 44
Albumin serum levels tell if your body is balanced. Increased albumin can occur from dehydration, high-protein intake, or medications. You likely won't notice changes. Drink more water and eat balanced meals to help. Discuss concerns with your healthcare provider if needed.

My hemoglobin report 8.2 and my esr 125
Male | 37
According to your test results, your hemoglobin level is low, which can cause symptoms like feeling tired and weak. The high ESR number could mean that your body is inflamed. From simple ones, such as anemia, to complex ones, such as infection-are sorts of them. If you want to take your hemoglobin to the right levels, you may have to take in more iron-rich foods by way of diet. Plus, do not forget that the root cause of inflammation is there and lower your ESR count. To improve your hemoglobin, you may need to eat more iron-rich foods, and addressing the underlying cause of inflammation can help lower your ESR level.

I am loosing weight continuously and getting slim like anaemia patients skin is so dull and sagging and I feel dizzy sometimes, get tired easily can't sit longer because my blood cells stops working so I have to move every moment
Female | 23
Anemia results from a deficient number of healthy red blood cells in the bloodstream. Low red blood cells mean asthma, dizziness, and quick weight loss. Your skin can also become pale and saggy. More spreadsheets with foods high in iron such as spinach and beans are advisable. Your doctor can also give you iron pills to increase the number of red blood cells.

Hi doctor..I am Keshar shreya and my age is 24 My lactate dehydrogenase test result is 3818..what must be the reason
Female | 24
Monitoring your lactate dehydrogenase levels shows care for health. An elevated LDH value, like 3818, signals potential issues. This might involve muscles, liver, or heart. Tiredness, muscle aches, breathing difficulties - these could arise. The wise step is to consult a doctor. They'll conduct further assessments, pinpointing the root cause.

I get attacks of thirst (dry mouth included), dizzy and unwell followed by feeling tired and a headache later in the day. This happens weekly (week n half most) used to be once a month or so. Previous bloods showed low folic, elevated bilirubin and b12 but no proper answers or directions.
Male | 38
You may be dehydrated, which can cause a dry mouth, dizziness, and tiredness. Low folic acid and high bilirubin levels might also be factors. Try drinking more water and eating leafy greens and citrus fruits for folic acid. If symptoms persist, see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

Hi! I’m 28 years old woman. After I lost a pregnancy at 6 weeks, last year in December, we decided to try again. Now, I’m pregnant again in 3 weeks and my doctor suggested a trombophilia test. The results came few minutes ago. Can you help with it? Thanks in advance! Mutation Factor 2 (G20210a, protrombina)->negative/negative Mutation Factor V Leiden (G1691A)->negative/negative Mutation MTHFR(C677T)->negative/negative Mutation MTHFR(A1298c)-> positive Homozigote/negative Detection gene PAI-1 (4g/5g) ->PAI-1 heterozigote 4g/5g / PAI-1 homozigote 5g/5g Mutation factor XIII -> positive heterozigote/negative
Female | 28
Factor 2 and Factor V Leiden tests were negative - that's good news. However, an MTHFR mutation was detected. This means your body may struggle to break down certain B vitamins. Additionally, the PAI-1 gene varies slightly, indicating potential differences in blood clotting.

Sir blood 8.7 tha report m maine dava bi li h but Mera fever nhi utar rha 1month se jyada ho gya
Female | 26
At 8.7, having a low blood level can cause you to become tired and weak. Your body might not have enough iron, which is necessary for feeling better. To increase your blood level take iron supplements and eat foods such as spinach and beans that are rich in iron. Also if your fever does not go away it would be good to see a healthcare provider who will help establish what is causing the fever so that you can receive appropriate treatment.

Your blood test results have come back as abnormal. Generally, high levels of lym p-lc, MCV, PDW, mpv, and rdw-cv, in the case of low MHC and platelet count, can indicate various conditions. Your symptoms of anxiety, night fever, leg pain, and weight loss are bothersome. These abnormal results and symptoms may be linked to health issues such as anemia, infections, or inflammatory conditions. A doctor's follow-up is necessary for detailed diagnosis and treatment of the problem.

I am 23 year old female.. I have continuous bruise on my leg and arm without hitting last 3 year.. I didn't eat any medicine.. so what should I do now?
Female | 23
An occurrence of bruising without any previous history of trauma or injury is a condition that needs attention. You are doing right not to take medicines right away. Bruising without an obvious cause could be due to low platelet count, clotting disorders, or Vitamin deficiencies. The optimal way to find out is through an in-person appointment with a specialist who will draw blood in a lab to diagnose the disease.

Male | Kanimuthu
It's a relief to know that the CT scan of your chest shows no remarkable risk. Blood clots can root from different causes like immobility, injury, or some illnesses. A few of the frequently occurring symptoms can include chest pain or dyspnea; however, thanks to your statement, there is no such risk, which undoubtedly comes as a piece of good news. I suggest that you strictly follow the instructions of your doctor, do the exercises recommended to you in your physical therapy, and you may also apply proper hydration. Do not forget to always consult your physician if you have any issues.

Platelet count noly. 5000
Male | 9
A platelet count of 5000 is very low. Platelets are small UCS in your blood that support the process of transporting blood to your body. When your count is low you could experience symptoms such as easy bleeding, a lot of bruises, or have nosebleeds. Low platelets can be a side effect of several medicines, infections, or diseases. To tackle the problem, doctors may either prescribe medication or transfuse safe platelets.
