Answered on 12th Feb '25
It's understandable to have concerns about these test results. A low platelet count can lead to easy bruising or bleeding, while high triglycerides might increase the risk of heart issues. Possible causes include dietary factors, liver function, or certain medical conditions. Encouragingly, lifestyle changes such as improved diet, increased physical activity, and weight management can help. However, it's vital to consult your physician for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

CEA stands for Carcinoembryonic Antigen, a protein produced in the body, and the levels of it in the body may be high because of different causes such as inflammation or infection. Usual symptoms are unusual with a slight increase in CEA levels, but further tests and monitoring are also often necessary. It’s important to visit your healthcare provider to find out the exact reasons for your condition and the best ways to fight it.

Male | 26
A bilirubin level of 9.3 is somewhat elevated. It might be an indication that your liver is not functioning properly. This could lead to jaundice, which is a condition wherein your skin and eyes become yellowish. High-bilirubin conditions may be caused by disorders of the liver or red blood cell problems. After treatment of the liver disease, which is the actual cause of high bilirubin levels, normal bilirubin levels could be achieved.

I have Vit D 38 and B12 302 and haemoglobin 10 (iron deficiency 35) Do I need to take supplements ?
Female | 48
Based on your levels, it appears that you may benefit from supplements. A Vitamin D level of 38 is on the lower side, while your Vitamin B12 is within a typical range. However, your hemoglobin is low, suggesting anemia likely due to iron deficiency. Symptoms can include fatigue, weakness, and pale skin. I recommend discussing iron and Vitamin D supplementation with your physician to determine the right dosage and duration.

I wanna check about my blood taste report as I recently got from a lab
Male | 30
The important reason for the iron deficiency in your blood is anemia, which manifests as fatigue, pale skin, and weakness. Iron-rich diet foods such as spinach, beans, or fortified cereals can help. Some foods like citrus fruits and bell pepper are very good sources of vitamin C. You can also consult a hematologist for proper guidance.

I am having red mucus in colour, please consult a doctor
Female | 21
Red mucus is often a sign of bleeding in certain areas of your body, such as the nose, throat, or stomach. If it’s coming from your mouth, it could be related to a lung issue. This might be caused by an infection, irritation, or a more serious condition like pneumonia. It's important to see a doctor for an evaluation. They may run tests such as blood work, X-rays, or a bronchoscopy to identify the cause. Treatment for the bleeding will depend on its source, so it's best to get checked as soon as possible.

I'm 21 years old women I've a question today i had a CBC 1 blood test and 3 days back i smoked cigarette will my doctor be able to make out by seeing my blood reports that i smoked ?
Female | 21
Cigarette smoking tends to impact the results of CBC blood tests but they don’t directly reveal it. By increasing your white blood cell count, smoking may indicate signs of inflammation or an infection to a physician. Tell truthfully about your smoking habits when asked by healthcare practitioners so that they can provide appropriate treatment for you.

Female | 58
Your WBC count is slightly low at 3.73; RBC is normal at 4.57. NEU is also lower at 1.78. Low WBC suggests weaker immunity, making infections more likely. Have nutritious meals, ample sleep, stay hydrated. If unwell, see a doctor for examination and guidance.

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.
