I'm really worried about my wife who's got dengue. Her platelet count was initially at 52,000, but then it dropped to 18,000, which led us to get her admitted and she had a platelet transfusion. Since then, her platelet counts have been creeping upfirst 28,000, then 36,000, and now it's at 47,000. I'm confused because I thought after a transfusion, her platelets would increase more quickly. Is this normal or should I be concerned about how slowly they're going up?

View allI'm looking at my blood test results and it mentions something about normocytic normochromic RBCs. I'm a bit confused about what that really means for my health. Could you help me understand the potential causes behind this and what impact it might have on me?
Normocytic normochromic RBCs indicate that your red blood cells (RBCs) are normal in size (normocytic) and color (normochromic), suggesting that your RBCs are healthy and functioning properly, but this result can also be seen in early stages of anemia

I've just gone through my general health check-up, and while everything seems normal, my lymphocytes are at 48, and the absolute lymphocyte count is 3312. Should I be worried about these high lymphocyte levels, or is this considered normal?
A negative HPT (Home Pregnancy Test) 4 days after IUI doesn't necessarily mean you're not pregnant. Possible reasons for a false negative: 1. _Too early_: HCG levels might not be high enough to detect. 2. _Insufficient HCG sensitivity_: HPT sensitivity varies; some tests might not detect low HCG levels. 3. _Diluted urine_: If you drank excessive water before testing, your urine might be too diluted. Wait a few more days (around 7-10 days post-IUI) and try testing again. If you're still unsure, consult your fertility specialist for guidance.

I've been looking over my recent CBP results and noticed that my platelet count is at 1.1 lakh. All my other parameters like RBC, WBC, and hemoglobin seem to be in the normal range. Any idea why my platelet count is like this? What should I be looking into or doing next?
