I'm a bit worried about my health lately. I recently had a throat infection and although I'm feeling better now, my haemoglobin is at 9.5. My other CBC tests seem normal. I had a baby via cesarean section back in September 2016. Could you help me understand why my ESR levels might be increasing?

ESR can be raised in a lot of conditions of inflammation. Need not worry about that. You can take a tab. Livogen once a day after food for a month and have a high protein diet. Consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.

My patient has hemophilia with a factor VIII assay showing activity at 19.5 before surgery how much cryoprecipitate should we give to manage bleeding risks during the procedure

For a hemophilia patient with Factor VIII activity at 19.5%, you'd typically give cryoprecipitate to raise levels above 50% pre-surgery. The exact amount depends on weight and procedure type, so consult a hematologist for dosing protocol.
