I'm a bit worried about my mean platelet volume being at 14.8. Does that seem unusually high or just slightly above normal? How can I bring it back to a more typical range? Any advice would be appreciated!

View allIs this blood report normal? I'm a 27-year-old male, and I've had a history of severe vitamin B12 and D deficiency that went untreated for a few years, though I completed the treatment. I still struggle with IBS, and I'm worried because my recent blood test showed some values out of range. My lymphocytes are at 43, RBC count is 4.5, hematocrit is 40.9, MCH is 33.7 pg, MCHC is 37.1, RDWCV is 14.8, platelets count is 169, sodium is 149, potassium is 5.1, and chloride is 107. Should I be concerned about these results, or are they something I should keep an eye on?

I'm really concerned about my mom. She had Covid, but thankfully she recovered and tested negative about two weeks ago. However, we've noticed her D Dimer level is now 675mg. Is it normal for blood to become thicker after testing negative for Covid? Also, her CRP level is up to 10. Is there a chance of reinfection, or is this something else I should be worried about?
continue the covid tablets which your consultant given!! no need to recheck

I'm curious about the effects of a blood transfusion. Specifically, could receiving one actually cause a spike in blood sugar levels, even if the transfused blood has a normal glucose level? Im really concerned about how safe it is.
Yes, blood transfusion can potentially increase blood sugar levels, especially in patients who receive blood with high levels of glucose. This can happen if the donor had high blood sugar levels at the time of donation. To manage this, it is important to monitor blood sugar levels closely during and after a blood transfusion. If needed, insulin therapy may be initiated to control the blood sugar levels.
