I'm a bit concerned after seeing my recent blood report. It shows a high ESR, and my MCHC is low. I'm not entirely sure what this means. Could you tell me what might be going on, and what kind of specialist I should consult about these results?

View allI'm a bit concerned because my blood test showed high lymphocytes, exactly 42.1. Should I be worried about any health issues down the line? What steps can I take now to make sure everything stays in check?
High lymphocytes in the blood can indicate an infection, inflammation, or a response to stress. To address this issue and prevent any potential health issues in the future, it is important to determine the underlying cause of the elevated lymphocytes. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) for any discomfort, and ensure you stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I'm a bit worried about my mom's blood work results. Her RDW came back at 14.2, and I noticed the reference range is between 11.5 and 14.0. Also, her PDW is 17.2, with the reference range being 9 to 17, and her absolute basophil count is 0. Plus, she's got some high cholesterol. Do you think this is something serious? Which specialist should I talk to about these results?

I just got my blood test results back, and it shows that my absolute basophil count is 0 and my lymphocytes are at 41. Should I be worried? Is this something serious or pretty normal? I'm a little anxious about what these numbers might mean for my health.
An absolute basophil count (ABC) of 0 is generally considered within the normal range, as basophils typically account for less than 1% of total blood cells, while a lymphocyte percentage of 41 is slightly elevated, but may not be a cause for concern, unless accompanied by other abnormal blood test results or clinical symptoms,
