Question

I've recently had a blood test, and I'm a bit worried because my ESR is pretty high at 56mm, and my MCH and MCHC levels are low. What could this mean? Should I be concerned about anything in particular? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give me.

Question

I'm really concerned about some of my blood test results that came back high. The RDW-SD is 51.1 fL and the RDW-CV is 14.7. Also, the PDW is 20.16 fL, which is way above the reference range. Even the MPV is quite high at 14.4 fL. I know my platelet count is 152 and the total RBC is 4.8, both of which are normal. But I'm really worried because I've heard high counts can sometimes indicate something serious, like cancer. Can you please help explain what all this might mean?

Question

I'm a 42-year-old guy living in Pune and I've just been told that my platelet count is slightly higher than 5 lakhs. Should I be worried about this? What happens if my platelet count gets even higher? At what point should I start to really worry, like if it goes over 6 lakhs or something like that?
