I'm really worried about my wife. She's been having a fever every week and then we just saw in her blood report that her hemoglobin is pretty low, like 7.7. Could you help me understand what's going on with her?

Recurrent fever and low hemoglobin (7.7%) in your wife's blood report suggest an underlying condition that requires medical attention; possible causes include iron deficiency anemia, chronic infections, autoimmune disorders, or malignancies; consult a general physician to conduct further investigations, such as iron studies, vitamin B12 and folate levels, and imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

My PT level is 19.3 and I'm a bit worried is this something serious that needs attention or could it improve as I get older? Also, would it be safe to go through surgery with levels this high?

A PT of 19.3 is high and could delay surgery. It may point to liver issues or vitamin K deficiency. Needs further evaluation and correction before any operation.

I've just gotten my blood test results back, and everything looks normal except for a high level of plateletcrit, sitting at 3.30 mLL. I don't have any other symptoms right now, but should I be concerned about this? What could it mean, and is there something specific I should do or look out for?

I'm 80 and recently started having chest pain, so I went to the hospital. The doctor had me take a blood test, and it turns out I have polycythemia vera. They've been taking my blood twice a week to keep it thin, but now I'm feeling really exhausted, and it's hard to manage. Can you suggest what I should do?
