I'm kinda worried about my blood report since it says there's an alert for predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes anisocytosis. Can you explain what this means? I've attached a screenshot if that helps.

I'm a bit concerned about my test results. My mean platelet volume is showing 14.6, but my platelet count is within the normal range at 157, and my WBC is also normal. Could you help me understand what this all means?

I'm curious about what the normal body temperature is. I've been feeling okay, but sometimes my body temp goes slightly above 37C. I've taken the RT-PCR test twice and they both came back negative. My D-dimer and CRP levels were also normal. I also took a dengue test which was negative, but my platelet count was low at 117,000. Could this low platelet count be causing a fever?

I'm really concerned about my wife's recent lab test results. Her vitamin B12 level came back at 1500. Is this something we should be worried about? What steps should we take to bring it back to a normal range?

While moderate elevation may not be harmful, its important to address the potential causes with the guidance of a doctor to ensure there's no underlying medical condition contributing to the high B12 level.
