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.

The blood report indicates that you have a mixed anemia, characterized by normocytic (normal-sized) and normochromic (normal-colored) red blood cells, along with the presence of macrocytes (larger-than-normal cells), ovalocytes (oval-shaped cells), and anisocytosis (unequal-sized cells), suggesting a possible deficiency in vitamin B12 or folate,

View allHow long does it typically take for hospitals to screen blood after a donation? I donated on Saturday around 11 am and now it's been over 30 hours since then. I'm just wondering if they've already screened my blood or not.
screening completed within 24 hrs but if there are lot of samples it takes time to screen your sample

I'm really concerned about my recent test results and hoping you can help me make sense of them. I got a 1g Jilazo injection back in May when my ferritin was 14 ngml, total iron was 80 mcgdL, TIBC was 339 mcgdL, and Hb was 9.7 gdL. I've got beta thalassemia trait and was told to take Folvite and Quicobal 1500 mcg. When I got tested again in August, my Hb dropped to 9.3, TIBC was 242 mcgdL when it normally should be between 265 and 297, total iron was down to 70 mcgdL, and ferritin had jumped to 280 ngmL, way higher than the normal 13 to 150 ngdL range. I'm worried if the high ferritin and low TIBC are because of the Jilazo injection, and I'm trying to understand why my Hb and iron levels have decreased. Does high ferritin mean something bad, and should I be concerned since I also have Acidic GERD and Grade A Esophagitis? Would love your thoughts.

I'm an 18-year-old healthy female, and I recently donated 450mL of my blood. Right after the donation, I stood up from the chair and felt this hot throbbing sensation in my neck and shoulders. Then the pain kind of spread down to my mid and lower back. My back has been seriously hurting since the donation, which was a little over a week ago. Should I consult a doctor?
