Can HIV Cause CBC Abnormalities in Different Stages?

Hiv and cbc abnormalities in acute and sub acute and chronic stages

1 Answer

Answered on 19th Feb '25

HIV can lead to changes in blood tests, affecting your immune system. In early stages, symptoms might include fatigue or fever, while later, chronic phases could show more severe signs like weight loss or ongoing infections. These variations in your complete blood count (CBC) result from how the virus impacts your body. Seeking early medical advice is important, as physician can provide tailored treatments and support.

Doctor recommended me dexorange for anaemia how many times I should take it in a day and how

Female | 25

Dexorange treats anemia, a condition caused by a lack of red blood cells, leading to tiredness and weakness. It is often due to low iron levels. Take Dexorange once or twice daily after meals, as directed on the label. Regular use helps your body absorb iron and manage anemia effectively.

I am 20F. Since May, I started a new job in May (retail part time as a student). I've been having nosebleeds since then. During summer it was worse when i was working many many hrs, where it happened alongside dizziness and headaches. Its recently happening again on and off since May- sometimes due to stress and dehydration , dust, allergies and the flu (dont know exact cause). It always come from one nostril.

Female | 20

Noseblee­ds happen, especially with stre­ss, lack of fluids, or breathing in dust and allergens. One­ nostril bleeding is usually no biggie. Try drinking more­ water, avoiding dusty spaces, and using a humidifier. But if it won't quit, be­st to have a doctor check it.

I did lft test on Friday and my globulin level is 3.70 and now Tuesday after 4 days I did again lft test and globulin level is 4 I am so scared it increasing what should I do

Male | 38

A minor rise in your globulin level in the blood profile is not usually a cause of concern. Globulin is a protein in your blood that serves as a defense against infections. The levels of this protein may at times, be affected by factors such as dehydration or infections. No need to panic if you have not noticed any change in your health or you have not developed any unusual symptoms. Consume enough water and a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables. If you observe any new symptoms or if this continues, consult with your doctor for further advice.

Your blood test could indicate an issue. High WBC and Eosinophils levels, as well as low Haemoglobin and RBC counts, could mean there is an infection or inflammation present. Signs might consist of tiredness, feebleness, and generally feeling unwell. If necessary, it would be best to contact a doctor for more tests and treatment.

I. T. P. Prblm in one year

Male | 9

I.T.P. stands for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. This can occur when your immune system mistakenly attacks the blood platelets your body needs to stop the bleeding. Symptoms include easy bruising, tiny red dots on the skin, and gum bleeding. Treatment may include medications or, in more severe cases, procedures to increase the number of platelets. Don't forget to visit a hematologist for the right treatment.

My grandmother did a test and I want to know if you can read the results and tell me if it's cancerous

Female | 64

Understanding test results can be challenging; however, only a healthcare professional can provide an accurate interpretation. Symptoms of cancer can include unexplained weight loss, persistent pain, or changes in health patterns. Causes vary widely, ranging from genetic factors to environmental exposures. For peace of mind, I recommend discussing the results with her doctor, who can offer a clear assessment and potential next steps. Early detection and treatment can significantly improve outcomes.

According to the blood test results you provided, the total white blood cell (TLC) count is above the norm, which may be indicative of an infection or inflammation in the body. High TLC may come with symptoms like fever, fatigue, and coolness of the body. To deal with this problem, it is necessary to find the primary cause of the increased TLC level by conducting more tests and getting a doctor's opinion for suitable treatment.

HIV is primarily transferred through some body fluids like blood. If someone with a cut on their hand eats saliva-containing food, the saliva does not carry enough virus to infect you. Being cautious will make sure to see out for symptoms include flu-like illness and talk to your doctor if you are concerned.

Male | 17

This may be followed by pain in your joints, swelling, and ruddiness of your skin. For this, foods rich in purines, obese individuals, and those who have certain medical conditions are factors that trigger its occurrence. Drinking a lot of water, eating a nutritious diet, and consulting a hematologist for medications are some of the things you can do to lower uric acid levels.

I'm a 20 year old male, with one swollen groin lymph node or so it feels that I've discovered about a month and a half ago, it was tender for about the first week but isn't anymore

Male | 20

When you have infections, the lymph nodes in your groin tend to swell up. It could be that there is a simple infection or in some rare cases, something more serious. Since it is now more than a month and there is no pain, this shows positive progress. It would be wise however to see a doctor if they do not go away or you experience any other symptoms.
