Common Questions and Answers about Complete blood count meaning

blood

Avatar f tn I had a complete blood count with differential yesterday that showed normal values for all ranges. Is this sufficient to show no HIV or is that a separate test?
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone has had several CBC's and had slightly elevated white blood count? The last 3-4 times in which I've had a complete blood count they notice that it's elevated but not to the point where it becomes a concern ( so the doctor says) but I still find it strange.
Avatar m tn You can really tell from a complete blood count what type of infection you have (as said above). It does show a slight increase in your WBC count so you are fighting some type of infection. The RDW is high as well which just shows there is a variety of cell types. Sometimes this can mean iron deficiency anemia but it isn't too bad since your Hemoglobin is normal. The more important question is what are your symtoms and how long have you had them?

Avatar m tn I am really scared to get tested and wanted to know my probabilities of having the HIV?? Back in Feb 05' I had PROTECTED sex with a sex worker. This happened in sub-Saharan country... I know you must think I am a complete fool... which I agree. Anyhow, I got scared after the event and approximately 6 weeks later I had the "flu" symptom. I totally panicked and the flu lasted about a week.
Avatar f tn I am being informed that he has a high RED blood count (because of an as yet undiagnosed infection) that will prevent his move from hospital to a long term care facility. My own meager knowledge of the meaning of high WHITE blood cell count seems contrary to the above. Is there a clarification that would make more sense? Could a relationship of red (high) to white (low) be of concern (i.e. an infection without rise in white blood cell count)?
Avatar n tn ABG = arterial blood gasses CBC with Diff = complete blood count with differential (keeping an eye on the eosinophil count. Chest x-ray = to show the affected areas or may be normal Bronchial provocation studies = will purposly induce an attack to target the problem and reverse through drug administration. Some drug administrations: bronchodilator therapy = theophylline or aminophylline, beta 2 adrenergic agonist (albuterol or terbutaline).
Avatar n tn Well there are tons of ways to count it but most doctors count in 4 week increments... So you're pregnant a full 9 months meaning your due date would be the beginning of the 10th month. But some women count it differently so it can work out a different way. But if you take 40/4 it equals 10... 40 weeks of pregnancy and each pregnancy "month" equally to roughly 4 weeks.
903604 tn?1274717574 When I had a high white blood cell count, my doc said it was the body's way off fighting off an infection. Things like a cut that's trying to heal, or the flu, a sore throat, bronchitis or a sinus infection can all cause your wbc to go up. And, antihistamines can make it go up too! I hope this helps.
Avatar n tn Are there any other signs or symptoms present? Chest x-ray, complete blood count and complete medical and physical examination is needed to help with the diagnosis. It would be best to see your doctor to rule out any differentials and to reach a complete diagnosis. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn Normally simple blood tests results like hemogram, total cell count, complete blood checkup, blood sugar, electrolytes etc are available the same day. Some times the tests are done and the report not uploaded on the computer due to technical delays. So if you do not get them by tomorrow, yes, definitely follow this up. Hope this helps. Take care!
789911 tn?1368636783 The RBC, hemoglobin, and hematocrit are frequently ordered as part of a complete blood count (CBC). The CBC usually includes an evaluation of RBC characteristics, such as cell size, volume, and shape. Based on these results, a reticulocyte count may be ordered to further examine the RBCs. Reticulocytes can be distinguished from mature RBCs because they still contain remnant genetic material (RNA), a characteristic not found in mature RBCs.
Avatar f tn I have PP but not complete. I did have a bleed at 19 weeks but just for two days and they said they believed it wasn't fresh blood. I am now 23 weeks and am on moderated rest, meaning as I work sitting down I'm ok. But have been advised not to stand or walk for more than 30 mins. Good luck ladies!
457438 tn?1302068407 I consulted the Doctor again today because I don’t get complete relief from fever and cough. He advice to do blood and urine test. After test my Platelet count is 2.8 Lakhs and TC is 4400 CELLE/CUMS. He checked the test result and retest after two days. He said that PC and TC level are low. May be Dengue/Viral fever. Can u advice me?
Avatar m tn In November 2013, my heart doctor asked me a complete blood count, along with other test (cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.). Everything was normal with the red cells, but the white cells were low (4090/mm3) and there were more leucocytes (2740/mm3) than neutrophils (920/mm3). She asked me about HIV and I replied her that I have been tested twice.
Avatar n tn They can also result from autoimmune disorders, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, bone marrow disorders such as leukemia, inflammation of the veins, as a side effect of certain medications, viral infections, such as EBV or Dengue and septicemia or infection in blood. A complete blood count, urine examination and a blood culture may be required to reach a diagnosis. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar m tn The Doctor said my blood pressure and heart rate was elevated meaning I may be fighting some infection. Urine sample and CT scan came back fine but they said my white blood cell count was high from the blood work. Their diagnosis was prostatits but couldn't say for sure. Any ideas? I am in pain.
Avatar f tn The number of white blood cells (WBCs) in the blood. The WBC is usually measured as part of the CBC (complete blood count). White blood cells are the infection-fighting cells in the blood. There are different types of white blood cells, including neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes; PMNs), band cells (slightly immature neutrophils), T-type lymphocytes (T cells), B-type lymphocytes (B cells), monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.
1659375 tn?1302481681 t HIV show in complete blood count as generally lower white blood cell count, at least broadly? Or would something else show? Would hemoglobin be affected? Does my complete blood count, etc, results seem similiar to what are common with HIV+ people? And might there be any other signs of HIV if you have been infected for four years? Any insight to my situation, and answers to my questions would be so much appreciated!
