I'm a 30-year-old single woman, and I've just found out that my pdw, rdw, and mpv levels are higher than the normal range. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean for my health. Could you explain the possible reasons behind these results and suggest any steps I should take moving forward?

View allI'm worried about my 85-year-old grandmother who has AB blood type. She's been really sick and needs blood. Is it okay for someone with B type blood to donate to her, or does it have to match her exact blood type?
in general, it is ideal to transfuse the same blood type to avoid any adverse reactions. However, in emergency situations, when the same blood type is not available, AB+ blood type individuals can receive blood from B+ blood type donors. This is because AB+ individuals are universal recipients and can receive blood from any blood type. It is important to consult with the healthcare provider for the appropriate blood transfusion and dosage.

My arm's been hurting since I got blood drawn three times for some tests on January 25th. There's a bit of redness on my skin too. It seemed to be getting better, but I played squash today, and now the pain's back. Can you suggest what I should do?
It seems like your arm might be experiencing irritation or inflammation from the multiple blood draws. I recommend applying a cold compress to reduce swelling and taking over-the-counter pain relief, such as ibuprofen, to alleviate discomfort. If the redness or pain worsens, or if you notice swelling, it would be best to consult your doctor for further evaluation.
