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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I'm really worried because my monocytes are still absent in my latest CBC results, just like last summer. The only weird thing in the test is that there's no monocytes. My report shows Neutrophils at 50, Lymphocytes at 49, Monocytes at 0, and Eosinophils at 1. Should I be concerned about monocytes being zero? It's making me quite anxious. What could this mean?
The normal values of monocyte count in the body can range from 0 - 10% of the total number of WBC in your body. Therefore, a monocyte count of 0 is still considered normal and is not a cause for concern.

I'm a bit worried because I need to have an operation soon, and my haemoglobin level is only at 9.7. Do you have any advice on how I can raise it quickly?
I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg tablets once daily. Additionally, include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and dark leafy greens. Vitamin C can also help with iron absorption, so consider taking a Vitamin C supplement or consuming foods high in Vitamin C like citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to support your body's recovery and hemoglobin production.
