Normal range is usually between 4,000 and 11,000 per microliter of blood. A blood test that shows a WBC count of less than 4,000 per microliter could mean your body may not be able to fight infection the way it should.

Take a ID NAT( INDIVIDUAL DONOR NUCLEIC ACID TESTING ) Test or Take a DENGUE NS1 ANTIGEN - KA Test

What does a low MPV blood test result mean?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have attached my blood report. The report includes the remark, Alert, Predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes. Platelets appear adequate in smear. I also have a family history of thyroid issues and am currently taking medication for it. Could you please explain what these findings mean and if there is any cause for concern?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am suffering from a very minor fever-like tendency for about a week. It goes away with PCM and sometimes without taking it. The temperature is very minor and gives a normal reading, but I feel very inactive because of it. I did my routine health check up 2 weeks ago and the blood report was quite normal. I do not know what has caused this problem?
