Answered on 26th Aug '24

RDW-CV is a measure of the variation in the size of red blood cells. An increase in RDW-CV can be a sign of anemia or nutritional deficiencies. Fatigue, weakness, and paleness may be among the symptoms. To tackle this, ensure a balanced diet that is rich in iron and nutrients. Further assessment by a doctor may be helpful.

Sometimes, it could happen due to harmless things like some activities or infections. Alternatively, it may more severe conditions such as inflammation or injury. Visit a healthcare professional who will help you find out what is causing this problem and offer you appropriate treatment. Delaying is dangerous, so don’t wait until it becomes worse.

I am having swollen lymph nodes in my neck since two years I have done fnac and biopsy both comes with result reactive lyphadenopathy....is it Cancer????

Female | 23

Reactive lymphadenopathy means the lymph nodes are responding to something which is not necessarily cancer. This can be caused by infections such as colds. Skin conditions can also cause them. Your doctor might want to keep an eye on them for a while or do more tests to be sure. Changes are always best recorded and communicated with a healthcare provider.

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.

Male | 19

Having an alkaline phosphate level of 248 is a little high. It may be that your liver or bones are not ok. If you have symptoms such as tiredness, stomach ache, and yellowness of the skin, make sure you seek medical help immediately. A healthcare professional will be able to help establish what is causing this and also advise on the right treatment for you.

Female | 55

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.

Male | 10

Based on the CBC report for your son, it reads that his red blood cell count is elevated. Sometimes, this leads to headaches. The other test results yield normal values, which is a positive thing! In my opinion, a doctor's consultation is necessary to delve more into the issue of an elevated RBC count and the occasional headaches, ensuring that the child receives proper treatment.

Male | 23

The results of your blood test are nearly within the normal limits. You have a low platelet count, which can be caused by different factors including infections or drugs. Equivalent mean platelet volume does not suggest cancer. It could perhaps be indicative of disorders like platelet destruction. If you do feel difficulties such as abnormal bleeding or bruises, do consult a hematologist.

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.

It's important to address each of your conditions with a specialist to manage your health effectively. Please consult an ENT specialist and a gastroenterologist for the maxillary mucosal disease and pseudo pancreatic cyst. For your bipolar affective disorder and associated symptoms like fatigue and heart rate irregularities, continue following up with your psychiatrist.

I am 22 years old and having normal diet frequently .But i don't see my muscle mass is increasing. It's like khana kha raha hui par pata nhi kaha ja raha hai. (1)Can u suggest me better diet plan in terms of increasing my muscle density. (2) Can i take whey protein powder as form of daily protein intake without doing gym ?

Male | 22

To do this, eat foods such as chicken, fish, eggs, and beans for protein. Also, have a lot of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for your health in general. It is alright to take whey protein powder as a supplement, but it would be most effective if used with regular exercises that build muscles. Always keep in mind that working out is essential for muscle development!

I have WBC 4.53 out of 5-10 normal range. My Neutrophils NEU % 43.3 with normal range 50-62 and lymphoctes lym% 49.2 with normal range 25-40. What does this mean? I used 2 weeks antibiotics for my UTI but this was 3 months ago

Female | 24

Your most recent blood test results show that your leukocyte count and various kinds of cells are slightly outside the range of normal. This might suggest that your body is still in the process of recovering from the urinary tract infection you had three months ago. The antibiotics you have been taking could influence these numbers, too. Ensure you drink enough water, consume a healthy diet, and observe any new symptoms that may arise.

One person has a cut on his hand . It was bleeding. I ate food from his hand. If that person is hiv positive. Does it transfer to me??

Female | 48

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.

But Then his health worsened and his blood count became high, after which the doctor administered blood transfusion.and say to continue imatinib . But now some time sometimes there is pain in hands and legs.abb mujhe kya karna chahiye ???

Female | 36

Undoubtedly, discomfort in the limbs (hands and legs) can be a typical occurrence amongst patients with persistent myeloid leukemia, a fact which must be acknowledged. Such pain, however, might also be there due to the medication or the disease itself. These signs of your disease, you should always tell your doctor about them, as they might need to adjust the treatment or give other means to relieve the pain. Communication is thus successful if your healthcare provider gets access to the symptoms and describes the best way he or she can help.

I am a 15 year old female who has been feeling heavy, achy legs with inactivity for 3 weeks since I arrived back at school. I weigh 115 pounds and have had sensitivity to the cold and purplish blotches that show up on my legs when exposed to extreme temperatures since I was young.

Female | 15

You might have some symptoms of a condition known as Raynaud's phenomenon. This can cause your legs to feel heavy and achy, especially in the cold. The purplish blotches you see when it's cold are also common with Raynaud's. The blood vessels in your body become too sensitive to cold or stress and this is how the condition occurs. It is advisable to y8 wear warm clothes to manage these symptoms.

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.
