I'm a bit worried about my recent blood and urine test results. Most things came back normal, and both VDRL and HIV tests are non-reactive, which I'm relieved about. But my monocytes count is nil, and lymphocytes are at 30. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Could you explain what this might mean for my health?

I'm worried about my 85-year-old grandmother who has AB blood type. She's been really sick and needs blood. Is it okay for someone with B type blood to donate to her, or does it have to match her exact blood type?

in general, it is ideal to transfuse the same blood type to avoid any adverse reactions. However, in emergency situations, when the same blood type is not available, AB+ blood type individuals can receive blood from B+ blood type donors. This is because AB+ individuals are universal recipients and can receive blood from any blood type. It is important to consult with the healthcare provider for the appropriate blood transfusion and dosage.

I've been having problems with sleep disorders and noticed my skin's looking pretty pale. My doctor suggested I get a CBC, and while my hemoglobin is usually around 11, it dropped to 7.4 this time. The doctor couldn't believe the CBC report and asked me to redo it. The next morning, it went down to 7 with platelets at 629. I also had an abdomen pelvis ultrasound, but everything came back normal. Now, doctors keep passing me off to someone else. What could be going on?

I'm a bit worried because I did a CBC recently and found my monocyte level is at 13, though my WBC count is at a normal 7000. I stumbled upon some discussions online saying that high monocytes can be linked to cancer, and now I'm pretty anxious about it. I also made a mistake in an earlier message where I said my WBC count was 4200, and I'm not sure how to correct that. Do I have any reason to be seriously concerned here?
