I recently got my blood test results back and while most of my levels are normal, my EST came in at 65. I'm a 21-year-old female and the report mentioned a 'normocytic normochromic blood picture.' I'm a bit confused and curiouswhat exactly does a normocytic normochromic blood picture mean? Is this something I should be worried about?

NORMOCYTIC NORMOCHROMIC BLOOD PICTURE means that the size and color of your red blood cells are normal. This is a good sign as it indicates that your red blood cells are healthy and functioning properly. In your case, with an Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) of 65, it may indicate inflammation or infection in your body.
