Complete blood count w diff
Common Questions and Answers about Complete blood count w diff
blood
That is simply a complete blood count and nutrient panel. It is one of the most basic blood tests. It should test your iron levels and not just your red blood cell count. Size matters to determine anemia.
So, it will count your blood cells, and it will determine cholesterol levels and iron, and your basic vitamin panels. Be sure they include your vitamin D levels.
Today I received the results back of a Comp Metabolic Panel, Lipid Panel, CBC w/diff, etc. All results for everything were within the normal range except the MPV which was 13.8 when the normal range indicated was 9.8-12.7. (My Platelet count was within the normal range at 193). The doctor called me with the results and said everything was good. I asked him to fax me the results. When I read the fax I saw the high MPV level which my family doctor did not even mention on the phone.
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.
I am not too concerned about her blood reports though she had relative monocytosis to begin with and now a slightly low neutrophil count. Other parameters in her complete blood count are normal as you have stated. However, she has tested positive for EBV (Epstein–Barr virus) which may explain all this. It is usually a self-limited disease and just that it is taking a bit time.
Accidentily found some thyroid issues when I went to PCP for back problems. Blood work came back indicating thyroid "problems". TSH is .27 ,T4 1.0.
Had the ultrasound which showed nodules on both sides and a goiter w/abnormal thyroid functions. Had the uptake scan, results said after 24 hrs thyroid function 18.7%, lower aspect of normal.
Prescribed .25 mcg of synthroid. Have NOT started taking it. --I am also in menopause. (if that makes any diff?
SHe ran blood work and my white count was as low as it usually is. Maybe a tiny bit lower. My red count was lower and that usually is normal since my hysterectomy.
My doctor is going to have me retest it in 4-6 weeks. But the thing that alarms me is she wrote in the comments "possibly there is a mild degree of myelofibrosis"
I have not bruising, pain, or fatigue. I had an abdominal ct done a year ago for IBS and it showed normal .
Today, twice so far, I have gone to use the bathroom and all that came out was clear w/ yellow tingle and slightly bloody mucus. Nothing brown or diarrhea like, just this mucus. Should i be worried? Anyone have this or had this and seen a doc? Its Saturday and my doc not available till Monday.
ve been having for roughly three months now. I saw my doctor for a physical in August and she did a WBC w/o diff. And my white count was 12.1 (normal limits are 0-11) and platelets were 410 (nl 150-400). I had started a new job in. Primary care office and chalked it up to just a routine sinus infection. I was started on doxy and my sinus symptoms resolved. However, it seems like every weekend I feel flu-like I.e.
WBC-white blood cell count, RBC-red blood cell count, TSH-thyroid stimulating hormone, T4-thyroxine, HGB-hemoglobin, HCT-hematocrit, MCV-mean corpuscular value, MCH- mean corpuscular hemoglobin, MCHC-mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, RDW-red cell distribution width, PLT-platelets. According to my lab book: Mosby's diagnostic and laboratory test reference, the following numbers are within normal range -
WBC 5-10 MCHC 32 - 36
RBC male 4.7 - 6.
It is like when you have a fever and trying to find out what disease you have because you have a fever. You would need more information such as when they do a complete blood count, which type of white cells are high. There are many types of white cells that are all counted in a total WBC count. There are neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and each have a normal percentage. They may check this next time if you count is still high.
J. For my 4 wk test ( actually 3 wk test in my case) Dr ordered CBC w/ Differential, Liver Function Panel and viral load (HCV RNA, PCR,Quantative).
Those showed the things he needed for following my progress. 8 wk (7 wks for me)' he just did the CBC w/Differential, the vital load - HVC RNA, PCR, Quantative and did the Hep A AB, Igm, Hep B Surface AG, Hep B Core AB IGM and Hep C AB.
Welcome to the Forum and hope this info helps.
I would have expected as starters for bloodwork to have been done such as a Complete Blood count w/ Diff and a Chemistry Panel and maybe even a precautionary chest and/or abd x-ray. You didn't mention which side the pain goes around. If it goes from midback around the right to the front, that can be a symptoms of gallstones or a nonfunctioning gall bladder, the latter of which won't show up on an xray.
PLEASE and I ask you PLEASE tell me after four years of the HIV infection being in a persons body, their white blood cell count (or any other blood cell count) would “not” be normal? This way I can kind of have some assurance, since my CBC is normal.
Thanks so much doctor, you’re a good man,
