Answered on 23rd Nov '24
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.

BPs of 180/90 and BG level of 180 are not normal. That causes headaches and might be indicative of hypertensive and hyperglycemic conditions.

What Are the Best Medicines for Microfilaria at 52?
I am 52 years old and after I received my blood test report it's microfilaria positive..would you please suggest few medicines?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 18th Nov '24
Microfilaria are the tiny worms that transmit malaria by mosquito bites. Often, the signs of sickness are fever, skin itching, and fatigue. Skin itching, fever, and fatigue are some of the most common signs of the disease. The primary medicine used for the treatment of microfilaria is the drug diethylcarbamazine (DEC) or ivermectin. These drugs aid the body's worm destruction. However, I strongly advise you to consult a hematologist about the exact dosage and duration of treatment.

Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 11th Nov '24
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.
