I have a query regarding my husband, Mr. Ashok Kadam latest test reports. The results show decreased size of the lymph node, LDH is 516, GGT is 13, and MCV is 38.4. I am concerned about whether these findings indicate any tissue damage or are affecting cell formation. How can we address this and bring these abnormal values back to normal?

LDH is slightly high (may reflect tissue stress), GGT normal, but MCV is very low (microcytosis). Suggest checking iron studies and review cause of lymph node issue.

Can blood tests detect a bacterial infection?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing extreme weakness and fatigue. This started after I had a cough and lung infection in January due to dust. The cough reduced within a week, and everything seemed normal. I have thyroid and take 25 mcg, and my thyroid levels were checked in March and were under good control. Since recovering from the cough, I have lost weight and continue to feel very weak. I was already underweight at 45 kg, and now I am 43 kg. My blood tests from March were normal.
