I'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 recent blood test results. My haemoglobin level is at 22, and I've been told my uric acid is high. Plus, my cholesterol is considered abnormal, and my SGPT is also elevated. What could this all mean? Should I be worried about any specific health issues, and what steps should I take next?
A hemoglobin level of 22 is quite elevated and could indicate conditions such as polycythemia. Elevated uric acid levels suggest a risk for gout or kidney stones. Abnormal cholesterol levels increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. It's crucial to address these findings with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation. Immediate steps could include lifestyle changes like diet modifications and increased hydration, as well as medications to manage uric acid and cholesterol levels. Further investigations might be necessary to understand the cause of elevated hemoglobin. Please consult your doctor to develop an appropriate treatment plan.

I'm a 21-year-old female and recently found out that my red blood cell count is a bit higher than normal. It came back at 5.19 gdl, even though the range is usually 3.80-5.10 gdl. My doctor said not to worry but it's still on my mind. Should I be concerned about this?
No need to worry! Your red blood cell count is only slightly above the normal range, which can happen due to dehydration, stress, or even being at higher altitudes. Since your doctor isnt concerned, its likely not seriousjust stay hydrated and follow up if needed.
