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

General Physician
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. Regular check-ups and monitoring will help manage your health effectively.

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.

Im worried about my wbc since 2019 do i have cancer
Female | 31
It's understandable to feel concerned about your white blood cell counts. These cells play a crucial role in your immune system. Variations can occur due to infections, stress, or other benign conditions, rather than cancer. Common symptoms of concern include persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and increased infections. However, these can also result from various non-cancerous health issues. I encourage you to discuss your worries with a hematologist who can provide tailored advice and may suggest blood tests for clarity.

Fêmea | 23
You may be experiencing a condition known as Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura, or ITP. This disease can lower your platelet, which is necessary for the coagulation process. The symptoms are easy bruising, bleeding of the gums, and pale skin. Important: See a hematologist for the proper diagnosis. Treatments include drugs or platelet transfusions.

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.

Female | 51
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.

is there any harm in using adfill injection instead of peg religrast injection?
Female | 45
Adfill injection differs from Peg Religrast. After cancer therapy, doctors prescribe Peg Religrast to boost white blood cells. However, Adfill has a distinct purpose unrelated to increasing blood cell count. Taking medicines incorrectly risks harming your health. Your doctor knows best which medications serve your needs. Listen carefully to medical advice about proper usage.

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.

Hello , im a 26 year old female. I have never been sexually active except for kissing someone. But how ever I can’t stop worrying that I may have contracted hiv , some how. A while ago i mistakenly sat on a damp blood stain in a car seat whilst wearing damp shorts on my way from the beach. I sat in it for about an hour 30 mins or so. Could that we a way one contracts hiv? Im going crazy because i have testing for work soon and im afraid if this affects my results.
Female | 26
HIV is primarily transmitted through specific bodily fluids during sexual activities, sharing needles, or from mother to child. Sitting on a damp blood stain does not pose a risk for HIV transmission, as the virus cannot survive long outside the body. Symptoms may include fatigue, fever, or swollen lymph nodes, but these vary. It's essential to focus on your well-being. If you're feeling overwhelmed, consider reaching out to a hematologist for reassurance and to discuss any testing.

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.

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.

Female | 21
You can drink milk while taking lamivudine and zidovudine. These medications don't interact with milk. But milk may upset your stomach or cause diarrhea. If milk bothers you, try lactose-free milk or drink less. Stay hydrated while taking these meds. Drink other beverages if milk upsets you. Contact your doctor if you have bad stomach pain or vomiting.

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.

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.

Your alkaline phosphatase level of 269.1 is high. This enzyme level signals potential issues with your liver or bones. Feeling tired or abdominal pain could be symptoms. Liver disease, bone disorders, or certain medications raise alkaline phosphatase levels. To find the root cause and get the right treatment, follow up with your doctor.
