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 had an I pill last month and my blood tests today are High platelet counts Wbc count -7.95 Gran %-76.5 Platelets -141 PDW-SD-19.7 What does this mean

Female | 19

Your blood test shows some changes. A high platelet level might indicate swelling or infection. With a WBC count of 7.95, your body's defense system is active. The Gran% tells about certain white blood cells, which increase when there's an infection. Your platelet count of 141 is normal, but it’s good to keep an eye on it. It seems your body might be fighting off an illness, so it's wise to discuss these results with your doctor for further advice.

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.

Diagnosed with anemia. Temperature dropping rapidly. Weakness in body. Lack of will to do work. Need spontaneous suggestions regarding medical assistance.

Female | 49

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.

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.

Female | 37

While losing weight une­xpectedly doesn't ne­cessarily mean cancer, it could signify various conditions. Don't worry imme­diately. Other symptoms might occur, such as constant e­xhaustion, appetite fluctuations, or discomfort. Common reasons include­ stress, thyroid problems, or diabete­s. However, to be ce­rtain, seeking professional me­dical evaluation is essential.

I done tested hiv duo combo on 30th day it's negative with value 0.13. Then I test hiv 1&2 Elisa (Antibody only) on 45th day it's also negative with value of 0.19. Am is safe? Is 45th day 3rd gen Elisa test is reliable?

Male | 21

According to your test results, it is very encouraging that both the HIV combo and Elisa tests were negative. The 3rd-generation Elisa test is reliable and fairly accurate in detecting HIV antibodies on the 45th day. Don't forget HIV symptoms can be different; however, the most common ones are flu-like symptoms, rash, and fatigue.

Female | 14

The pain in your lower abdomen, along with low hemoglobin and high ESR levels, along with decreased creatinine clearance and reduced UV-B irradiation exposure, can be associated with various health conditions. These signs may indicate issues like anemia of chronic disease, inflammation, kidney malfunction, or vitamin D deficiency. It’s important to consult a doctor for a thorough check-up and personalized treatment plan.

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.

Hi! I’m 28 years old woman. After I lost a pregnancy at 6 weeks, last year in December, we decided to try again. Now, I’m pregnant again in 3 weeks and my doctor suggested a trombophilia test. The results came few minutes ago. Can you help with it? Thanks in advance! Mutation Factor 2 (G20210a, protrombina)->negative/negative Mutation Factor V Leiden (G1691A)->negative/negative Mutation MTHFR(C677T)->negative/negative Mutation MTHFR(A1298c)-> positive Homozigote/negative Detection gene PAI-1 (4g/5g) ->PAI-1 heterozigote 4g/5g / PAI-1 homozigote 5g/5g Mutation factor XIII -> positive heterozigote/negative

Female | 28

Factor 2 and Factor V Leiden te­sts were negative­ - that's good news. However, an MTHFR mutation was de­tected. This means your body may struggle­ to break down certain B vitamins. Additionally, the PAI-1 ge­ne varies slightly, indicating potential diffe­rences in blood clotting.

Dear Doctor, Due to my father's high blood viscosity, suspicion of polycythemia arises, necessitating blood draws every 3 weeks to maintain appropriate levels. At 69 years old, he experiences symptoms such as skin itching, swelling, head numbness, and fatigue. Currently, his JAK2 V617F mutation showed 0.8 then 1.2%, with JAK2 exon 12 negative and EPO at 13.4. Abdominal CT and chest X-ray are normal. After a few months of phlebotomy, his levels normalized. Now, we await the bone marrow biopsy results, which do not confirm Polycythemia Vera: "Microscopic description: The bone marrow biopsy sample shows somewhat hypocellular hematopoietic parenchyma relative to age, which is terminally mature. Myeloid ratio is 2:1 with dominance of late precursors; no blast cells are noted. The number of megakaryocytes is normal with no clustering. There is no interstitial fibrosis or lymphoid infiltrate. Diagnosis: Mature, hypocellular hematopoietic parenchyma without myeloproliferative features. Cytogenetic analysis confirmed male karyotype; no clonal chromosomal abnormalities detected. Indication for examination D7510 Secondary polycythemia Note Submicroscopic rearrangements, small structural chromosomal aberrations, DNA-level differences cannot be ruled out with the method used." I am quite confused as JAK2 positivity typically suggests PV, yet the biopsy suggests otherwise, possibly indicating secondary polycythemia. Could you please clarify based on this information what you personally think is more likely, Polycythemia Vera or another secondary cause? Thank you very much for your help.

Male | 67

Your father's symptoms and test results do suggest some complexity. The presence of JAK2 mutation often points towards Polycythemia Vera (PV), but the bone marrow biopsy does not show typical myeloproliferative features, suggesting it might be secondary polycythemia instead. Consult a hematologist, specializing in blood disorders, and can provide a more accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

I have 16 pea sized lymph nodes I am 57kg my height is 5ft 10 I’ve had them for almost 2 years and they haven’t got bigger or changed I’ve had blood tests previously and they all came back fine. I do have 2 under my jaw that’s a bit bigger than a pea though. Is it a concern? I have no symptoms except bad anxiety. I am highly afraid of cancers

Male | 17

Your lymph nodes not changing size or growing for two years is good. When it comes to cancer we tend to worry a lot due to anxiety. They might remain slightly enlarged sometimes. It’s usually benign but it would be prudent to get the larger ones checked by your doctor. Additionally, work on calming down your nerves because that can also be of help.

Hi There , I am a 32 year female old, I recently did a full blood count test and another test for my kidneys to check for any abnormalities and everything came back positive , however lately my hands feel kinda full and painful, they feel hard when i open and close them , they do look swollen but not too much, especially when i wake up every morning, when im sleeping i can feel the blood flowing to my hands

Female | 32

You might be having the symptoms of a condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. This can be a result of the nerve in your wrist being compressed, which in turn, leads to pain, swelling, and numbness in your hands. To help with the symptoms, you can try wearing a wrist splint at night, doing hand exercises, and taking breaks from activities that may worsen the pain. If the symptoms carry on for some time, it's best to seek further help from a hematologist.

My patlet -154000 MPV -14.2 Is it ok

Male | 39

A platele­t count below 150,000 is considered low. Plate­lets help the blood clot prope­rly. Low levels can cause bruising e­asily, bleeding, or tiny red spots calle­d petechiae. An MPV of 14.2 is slightly be­low normal too. This could happen due to infections, me­dications, or medical issues. It's crucial to talk to your doctor about these­ results. They'll check furthe­r and recommend the right tre­atment.

I am 23 year old female.. I have continuous bruise on my leg and arm without hitting last 3 year.. I didn't eat any medicine.. so what should I do now?

Female | 23

An occurrence of bruising without any previous history of trauma or injury is a condition that needs attention. You are doing right not to take medicines right away. Bruising without an obvious cause could be due to low platelet count, clotting disorders, or Vitamin deficiencies. The optimal way to find out is through an in-person appointment with a specialist who will draw blood in a lab to diagnose the disease.
