Your blood test results have come back as abnormal. Generally, high levels of lym p-lc, MCV, PDW, mpv, and rdw-cv, in the case of low MHC and platelet count, can indicate various conditions. Your symptoms of anxiety, night fever, leg pain, and weight loss are bothersome. These abnormal results and symptoms may be linked to health issues such as anemia, infections, or inflammatory conditions. A doctor's follow-up is necessary for detailed diagnosis and treatment of the problem.

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.

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.

Female | 24

Based on her symptoms—fever, vomiting, leg pain, and a low white blood cell count—she likely has an infection. This can cause significant discomfort. Antibiotics may help her immune system fight the infection. Make sure she stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest to recover faster.

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.

Female | 16

Sickle cell is a condition where your red blood cells are of the wrong shape that can easily block the blood flow of the blood and thus become painful. This phenomenon occurs in every part of the body. It can lead to fatigue as well. To heal, you are recommended to take warm baths, drink water, and rest. You should also talk to your doctor for more help.

Your blood tests showe­d weird white cells and T ce­lls. Those cells fight germs. So we­ird counts may mean your immune system isn't working right. Be­ing tired, sick often, and losing weight for no re­ason - those could be signs too. Visit a hematologist to get proper treatment.

Hi.. I'm always struggling with being very skinny and I can't gain weight and my iron level always drops, I did blood analysis and everything was good except iron level. I reached many doctors and they gave up because the diagnosis still dim ????. Thanks in advance doctor .

Female | 24

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.

38 year old male blood test result: high mchc and lymphocytes, low hematocrit and neutrophils. Low vitamin d. Patients brother had aml. Are these test results concerning? Should we do further testing? The reason for the blood test was bone pain on different parts on the body. Lymphocyes 52% Mchc 37 Neutrophils 38% Hematocrit 38.9% Vit d 16

Male | 38

The increase of MCHC and lymphocytes along with the fall of hematocrit and neutrophils is a sign of some serious issues beneath. Bone pain can also be related to abnormal Vitamin D levels. Taking into consideration the family's background of AML, a decision for additional tests would be a good one to make the doubts clear.

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.

Hello I’ve been taking 25 mg atenolol for the last few months for a fast heart rate. I currently have a hemorrhoid and I want to use preparation H to relieve it. Preparation H has 0.25% of phenyleprine in it I know that can raise blood pressure. Should I still take or is there an alternative I can try?

Female | 22

Phenylephrine can raise your blood pressure and it might be unsafe for the heart if one is on atenolol already. In case you have no idea, you can use other treatments for piles that lack this drug like say witch hazel pads alternatively try out nonprescription hydrocortisone creams too. With these substitutes in mind, there won’t be any need to worry about a thing because they will still help soothe them but without affecting or changing anything about how well the medicine works for your heart condition. Nevertheless, should there still be no relief from piles after using these methods then I would advise that you talk with a healthcare professional.

A person with HIV cut his hand with a sharp object and after about 2 minute I cut my hand with it. Can I get HIV? it's just scratched with little blood?

Female | 34

A sharp obje­ct with blood from someone with HIV has a small chance of transmitting HIV if it cuts you. But a tiny scratch with little­ bleeding decre­ases the likelihood e­ven more. The risk is e­xtremely low! Howeve­r, watch for unusual symptoms like fever, e­xhaustion, or swollen lymph nodes as a precaution. If anything se­ems off, reach out to a doctor without delay.

posterior cervical lymphadenopathy is written on my file , i have lump on my neck , felt when pressed , i am on antibiotics from 5 days , still its there and not going away . what are chances that its cancerous ?

Female | 22

You lump your neck, and the term "posterior cervical lymphadenopathy" is in your file. It signifies the presence of a swollen lymph node. There can be many causes for this, and infections are the most common ones. But for our safety, we should explore every option including cancer. The doctor should do a thorough check-up because the lump doesn't go away even after antibiotics. They may recommend additional tests like a biopsy to identify the cause. Yet, remember, often it can still be because of non-cancerous reasons.

I want to ask about how can hiv be transmitted

Male | 22

HIV is a virus that might be passed from one person to another via specific body fluids such as blood, sex organs secretions, the fluid of the vagina, as well as breast milk. It is primarily transmitted through unprotected sexual activity, sharing of needles as well as mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Symptoms may not appear for some time but can manifest as flu-like sickness. Wearing condoms and not sharing needles are the biggest ways to fight HIV. If you are worried about it, it is wise to get tested.

High ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and CRP levels can indicate inflammation in your body. Common causes include infections, autoimmune diseases like lupus, and certain cancers. It’s important to work with a doctor to find the right solution and address the root cause.

Many factors can cause nose­bleeds. Dry air and allergie­s may play a role. High blood pressure too. Ye­t, dizziness, and fatigue raise conce­rns. Underlying issues like ane­mia or blood clotting problems could exist. With repe­ated noseblee­ds over 24 hours, seeking me­dical advice soon becomes crucial. Your doctor can evaluate­ properly.
