My recent blood report shows: WBC: 171,770 cells/cmm Hemoglobin: 9.1 g/dL RBC: 2.60 million/cmm Blasts: 60% I am also experiencing gum swelling and bleeding.

I have been suffering from Chikungunya for the past 2 weeks. During this period, I experienced upper thigh and knee joint pain for 2 days, which is now under control with medication. My blood report shows increased WBC, and my doctor mentioned a possible viral and bacterial infection. I have also been having loose motions (liquid stools) for the past 3 days and a fever above 102F for several days. My medical history includes urinary tract infections, and my kidneys are shrunk.

What is low TLC in blood?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently received my blood test report, and the MCHC level, which is 35.1 g per dL. Could you please explain what this means? Is this value considered normal or high?
