I have noticed some solid lumps below my tongue. I went for blood tests for CBP and ESR, and the results are: Hemoglobin: 17.8 RBC count: 5.73 Hematocrit: 49.2 MCV: 86.0 MCH: 31.1 MCHC: 36.2 RDW: 11.3 Platelets: 2.91 TLC: 6500 ESR: 6.0 My hemoglobin, RBC, MCHC, and RDW are above the expected range. Could this cause any problems? Please suggest what I should do.

Slightly raised red blood parameters often point to dehydration or smoking effect. If no symptoms, no need to worry. Oral lumps need a dental/ENT review.

My blood report shows a high eosinophil count of 18.9 percent. What does this indicate, and should I be concerned? Is it something serious or alarming?

I am 50 years old and have entered menopause. My recent blood test results show a random blood sugar of 114 mg/dL, ESR of 41 mm/hr, creatinine of 0.6 mg/dL, absolute eosinophil count of 518, and uric acid of 5.7 mg/dL. I would like to know if these values are normal, and whether my creatinine level is considered normal or low. Please advise.
