The typical symptoms of iron defusion consist of fatigue, weakness, and trouble gaining weight. The most prevalent cause of low iron is that you don't get enough of it in your diet. Iron-rich foods such as red meat, beans, and green leaves can do a good help. Besides consuming iron supplements, which should be prescribed by a doctor, one will also be able to improve one's iron levels. Don't forget to see your doctor to get more directions.

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.

I want to know , a chemotherapy patient takes 3 chemo then after 3 days later she has too much fever and pain in stomach. What should I do.
Female | 47
Fever and stomach pain are two of the most common causes of chemo. The fever may be due to the body's immune system being weaker after treatment. Stomach pain can be the result of medication cavitation in the digestive system. It is crucial to reach out to the medical team immediately for help with these symptoms. They may prescribe medicines to decrease the fever or stomach pain. Drinking plenty of water and sleeping will also help.

Kids often catch colds. Having blood in the stool is concerning. Many things can make this happen. Some causes are easy to fix. But others need medical care. One rare cause of sickness is leukemia. This cancer hurts blood cells. Signs are tiredness, bruises, and infections. But not all kids with leukemia have these signs. The best step is seeing an oncologist. They will check for what is making your child sick. If there is a sickness, they know how to treat it right.

Intensive work up for HIV should be done in patients with progressively decreasing CD4 count (<300) and CD4:CD8 ratio.
Male | 13
Someone's CD4 count below 300 and off-kilter CD4:CD8 ratio signal immune woes, perhaps from HIV. HIV weakens immunity. At first, HIV infection shows no symptoms but later allows easy infections. Early testing and treatment promote health.

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.

Systematic increases in immature granulocytes Good morning, Firstly, I will mention that I suffer from numerous chronic inflammatory diseases, as this may be relevant. These include Ulcerative Proctitis; Atrophic Gastritis; Last year, I also underwent two cervical electrosurgery procedures due to advanced dysplasia (CIN3). (The last colposcopy and colonoscopy did not reveal any suspicious changes) For a year now, my blood morphology tests have been showing an elevated level of immature granulocytes: The latest test (May '24) showed: Immature granulocytes IG - 0.09 thousand/µl; Norm: 0-0.04 thousand/µl Immature granulocytes IG % - 1.00; Norm: 0-0.5% The rest of the blood morphology is normal, leukocytes in urine - within the norm. Previous results (April '23): Immature granulocytes IG - 0.05 thousand/µl; Norm: 0-0.04 thousand/µl Immature granulocytes IG % - 0.7; Norm: 0-0.5% (and a very slightly elevated MCV) Even older (January '23): Immature granulocytes IG - 0.04 thousand/µl; Norm: 0-0.04 thousand/µl Immature granulocytes IG % - 0.6; Norm: 0-0.5% (and a very slightly elevated MCV and basophils) There is a clear upward trend since last year. I initially thought this was due to extreme stress (CIN3, LLETZ etc). Now I am not so sure... Are these results very concerning and indicative of a cancerous process? Can chronic inflammatory states cause an increase in IG, or is it rather some kind of “acute” disease state? Could the fact that I rode a bike to the laboratory (medium and short-term physical effort) affect the increase in results? I would be very grateful for your response and advice. Best regards, J.

Raised levels of these are often linked to chronic inflammation similar to stress, in this case, it is important to control them initially. With the status of attempted diagnosis for specific inflammatory conditions, your previous experience, and the new procedures on the lookout for anything new, don't hesitate to let a doctor know. It would be helpful to get solid advice from your healthcare provider concerning your test results.

Male | 32
A "non-reactive" result indicates that the test did not detect HIV antibodies or antigens in your blood at the time of testing. And you have consistently received non-reactive results over a span of a few months. However, for definitive advice regarding testing intervals and your specific situation, it's essential to consult a professional who specializes in sexual health or infectious disease

RBC level 5.10 wht to do dr please answer
Female | 32
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.

An Lymphocyte percentage of 16% might fall into the reference range depending further on several factors still. This value alone does not mean that one has an HIV infection as the person with HIV infection can differ in their lymphocytes percentages. The most frequent warning signs of HIV are long-lasting fatigue, unintentional weight loss, and frequent infections. In case people are bothered by health issues, they should approach a doctor first for further advice and even a possible test. The doctor will explain the results to you and decide if further investigation is necessary, thus ensuring that you get the required support and care.

If you suspect you might have anemia, regardless of your age, it's important to inform your doctor. Anemia occurs when your body lacks enough red blood cells, leading to symptoms like weakness, fatigue, and feeling cold. Iron deficiency or other underlying health issues can cause anemia. To address this, you may need to eat iron-rich foods like spinach, meat, and beans. Consult your doctor about iron supplements that can help boost your red blood cell count and energy levels.

The sickle cell trait itself implies the fact that you have a gene that encodes it but not its full condition. Jaundice might result from other conditions but not from sickle cell trait. The pain on the left side where the spleen is may be a symptom of it being enlarged. See your orthodox doctor for safety reasons so you may be treated properly.

I have normal cold and cough and sputum with blood from nose and mouth both
Female | 17
You have a common cold and cough. When blowing your nose or coughing up phlegm, you notice blood. This happens because coughing irritates the delicate blood vessels in the nose and throat. However, blood can signify other issues like sinus infections or severe conditions. Pay attention to the amount of blood - a little may not be concerning, but persistent or excessive bleeding warrants medical attention. For now, avoid blowing your nose forcefully and stay hydrated to soothe your throat. If blood persists, consult an ENT specialist to rule out serious problems.

It's great that you've received treatment and your hemoglobin is improving. Blood clots postpartum can occur due to a variety of reasons, including changes in hormone levels and blood flow. Monitor the size and frequency of the clots; if they increase or are accompanied by severe pain, dizziness, or heavy bleeding, reach out to your healthcare provider promptly. Ensure you're staying hydrated and following up on your recovery with a doctor who can provide tailored care.

Lymph nodes can become sore due to infections or inflammation, and a fever indicates that your body is reacting to something. These common examples could be caused by tuberculosis, and what if there are no other signs? It’s crucial to follow your doctor's advice, as they will likely recommend tests to confirm the diagnosis. The process should include bed rest, hydration, and stress management. Please schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss your treatment options and any additional symptoms.

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.
