I have taken a blood test. I have elevated RBC and iron binding capacity. Is this normal? This is causing anxiety to me.

A mildly elevated RBC count or Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) is usually not a cause for concern. It may happen due to hydration levels, high altitude, or mild iron changes. If Hemoglobin, Serum Ferritin, and Serum Iron are normal, theres usually nothing to worry about. Anxiety can also affect your well being and perception. You can repeat the tests in 2 to 4 weeks for confirmation.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Iron Studies Test Test

Hi, I am 5 months pregnant with my first baby. In my recent blood test, my platelet count has risen to 700,000, and my WBC is 11,200, which seems high. My doctor has advised me to do PT, APTT, INR, and Hb electrophoresis and to consult a hematologist. This is the first time my platelet count has been elevated, my last report was completely normal. Could this change be related to pregnancy? I am unsure how to proceed and would like guidance, as all my other reports are normal.

Good evening sir or madam, please see my test report and suggest remedies and what you think is most relevant for me. My height is 172 cm and my weight is 90 kg. I do not use alcohol, cigarettes, junk food, cold drinks, or oily food. I do approximately 20 minutes of yoga and a daily walk after meals. I eat only 2 to 3 rotis, use dry fruits, hand made juice, and some eggs and non vegetarian food. I am a UPSC aspirant, so I have to study 10 to 12 hours daily. I consume proper water and sleep. Please suggest?
