I'm a bit concerned about my test results. My mean platelet volume is showing 14.6, but my platelet count is within the normal range at 157, and my WBC is also normal. Could you help me understand what this all means?

View allI'm a bit concerned because my platelet count is at 1.24cumm, which I believe is lower than the normal 1.50cumm range, but then I see my total platelet count shows 1.51cumm. I've also noticed some rashes appearing on my palms. Could you advise me on how I could increase my platelet count and if there's any medication I should consider?
The best treatment for removing stones from the liver, specifically the gallbladder, usually involves surgery. There are two main types of surgery: *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy* and *Open Cholecystectomy* . - *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy*: This is a minimally invasive procedure where a surgeon uses a laparoscope to remove the gallbladder. This method is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and you can return to normal physical activity within a week . - *Open Cholecystectomy*: This traditional method involves making a larger incision in the abdomen to remove the gallbladder. This approach is typically used for more complex cases or when the gallbladder is severely inflamed . It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition. They may also recommend other treatments, such as medications to dissolve the stones, but surgery is often the most effective solution .

I'm really concerned about my dad's D-Dimer levels. They were supposed to stay below 500, but now they've shot up to 900. He was in quarantine for about 25 days and recently discharged from the hospital, but this rise in D-Dimer really worries me. Some doctors say it's normal post-COVID, while others say it's not. He's feeling okay, with no cold, cough, or other COVID symptoms now. What can be done to keep these levels in check? I'm anxious about how to handle this situation.
Elevated D-Dimer levels post-COVID-19 can be concerning. To help control this, your dad can be prescribed anticoagulant medication. I recommend he takes Apixaban (Eliquis) 5mg twice daily. This medication will help prevent blood clots and keep the D-Dimer levels in check. It is important to follow up with his healthcare provider for regular monitoring and adjustment of the dosage as needed.

I'm having some trouble breathing, mostly when I'm walking or at night. It feels like there's something blocking my nose, and sometimes I get a mild chest pain. I saw in my blood test that my hemoglobin is at 10.3gm. I'm just wondering, could these symptoms be because of my low blood count or is there something else going on?
other reasons , there are many reasons to cause anemia
