I'm really concerned about my dad's health. He's been having an unusually high WBC count, but he doesn't show any symptoms of leukocytosis. The blood smear and spleen tests all came back normal. He's stable, with no fever or inflammation, but his WBC count keeps fluctuating between 52000 and 28000. What could be causing this variation in his WBC count when everything else seems fine?

View allMy haemoglobin level came back as 11.8, which I know is a bit lower than normal. Should I be making an appointment to see a doctor or would it be enough to just add more iron and vitamins to my meals?
With a hemoglobin level of 11.8, which is slightly below the normal range, you can start by incorporating iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, lentils, and fortified cereals, as well as vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits and bell peppers to enhance iron absorption

I'm trying to understand my lab report and I've got some questions. It's mentioned as "Remarks ALERT," and says something about "Predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes." Can you help me make sense of that? My Hemoglobin is at 12.8, MCV is 109.9 fL, MCH is 33.2 pg, MCHC is 30.3 gdL, RDW-SD is 59.3 fL, and RDW-CV is 14.4. Is there something I should be concerned about? What do these terms mean in terms of my health?
The report indicates that your red blood cells are mostly normal in size and color (normocytic, normochromic), but there are also some abnormally large (macrocytes) and oval-shaped cells present. This could suggest a possible vitamin deficiency or other underlying condition. Your hemoglobin level is normal, but the high MCV (mean corpuscular volume) may point to macrocytosis. Its a good idea to follow up with your doctor to understand the cause.
