I'm a bit worried about my recent blood test results. My MPV came back as 11.8 H. What's the average MPV for a person? Is having an 11.8 H dangerous, and should I be concerned that it might be a sign of something serious, like cancer? I've attached my report for you to take a look.

Can I get a tattoo on my arm if I have G6PD deficiency? I'm worried because tattoo ink has isopropyl in it. Does that affect people with my condition? I'm hoping to get some guidance on whether it's safe or not.

Having G6PD deficiency means you have a genetic condition that affects the red blood cells. Isopropyl alcohol is commonly found in tattoo ink and products. While there is limited information on the direct effects of isopropyl alcohol on individuals with G6PD deficiency, it is generally recommended to avoid substances that may trigger a hemolytic crisis. To be safe, it is best to choose tattoo ink that does not contain isopropyl alcohol. You can consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance on safe tattooing options.
