Accepted Answer

it might be due to infection

Question 2

I've been feeling okay, no fever or injuries, but I'm still a bit concerned. I recently got my blood work done, and my white blood cell count is at 11.8k and platelet count is 11.5 lakh. Not sure if this is something to worry about. What could be causing these numbers to be on the higher side?

Accepted Answer

Your bilirubin levels show a mild elevation, which can be caused by various factors such as:

Liver inflammation or injury
Hemolytic anemia
Gilbert's syndrome

Your ASTSGOT and ASTSGPT levels are slightly elevated, indicating mild liver stress.

Consult your doctor to discuss the results and determine the underlying cause.

Question 3

I'm curious about how many doses of the Vitcofol injection it usually takes to see results for a B12 deficiency. My doctor prescribed me 5 doses along with a B29 tablet, but I'm wondering if this is standard or if I should expect to see improvements sooner. Can anyone share insights or experiences with this treatment?

Accepted Answer

Vitafol (Vitamin B12) injections typically show results within:

Timeframe for Results

1. Improved energy levels: 2-4 doses
2. Enhanced cognitive function: 3-6 doses
3. Normalized hemoglobin levels: 4-6 doses
4. Complete recovery: 6-12 doses (depending on severity)

Factors Influencing Response

1. Severity of B12 deficiency
2. Dosage and frequency of injections
3. Individual metabolism and absorption
4. Concurrent medication usage
5. Underlying health conditions

Monitoring Progress

1. Regular blood tests (e.g., hemoglobin, vitamin B12 levels)
2. Clinical evaluations (e.g., energy levels, cognitive function)
3. Dietary adjustments (e.g., B12-rich foods, supplements)

Tablet B29 (Folic Acid)

1. Supports B12 absorption and utilization
2. Enhances red blood cell production
3. May be prescribed concurrently with Vitafol injections

I've got my blood test results and I'm not sure what to make of them. My TLC is at 11.4 thousand per mm cube and eosinophils are at 8 percent. Should I be worried about these numbers? What should I do next?
