My dad's been dealing with a high fever and chills since a couple of days ago. His platelet count has been fluctuating, it was 41k two days ago, then went up to 47k yesterday, but today it's lowered again to 45k. Tests for Dengue and Malaria came back negative, so I'm worried about what else could be causing this low platelet count. How long do you think it might take for his platelets to go back to normal?

View allI'm a bit worried about my recent CBC screening results. My Hemoglobin is at 17.5, PCV is 53.2, and RBC is 6.1. Plus, my Vitamin B12 level is 1338, and Vitamin D is 36.58. About a month ago, my doctor gave me Bonicor Capsules and Neurobion Forte injections. I don't smoke and I make sure to drink 4 liters of water every day. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Could this be something serious?
"In your CBC screening results, your Hemoglobin level of 17.5, PCV of 53.2, and RBC count of 6.1 are slightly elevated, which could indicate conditions like polycythemia. Your Vitamin B12 level of 1338 is within normal range, and your Vitamin D level of 36.58 is slightly low. The medications you mentioned, Bonicor Capsules and Neurobion Forte injection, are commonly prescribed for conditions like anemia and vitamin deficiencies. Since you are a non-smoker and drink an adequate amount of water daily, your elevated blood counts may need further evaluation to rule out any underlying causes. I would recommend discussing these results with your doctor for further assessment and management."

I recently got my blood test results back and while most of my levels are normal, my EST came in at 65. I'm a 21-year-old female and the report mentioned a 'normocytic normochromic blood picture.' I'm a bit confused and curiouswhat exactly does a normocytic normochromic blood picture mean? Is this something I should be worried about?
NORMOCYTIC NORMOCHROMIC BLOOD PICTURE means that the size and color of your red blood cells are normal. This is a good sign as it indicates that your red blood cells are healthy and functioning properly. In your case, with an Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) of 65, it may indicate inflammation or infection in your body.
