In my recent blood test report my RBC decreased from 5.8 to 5.2 and Hb increased from 14 to 15.2. Why is my RBC decreasing and Hb increasing?

A mild drop in RBC with a rise in Hb can occur due to hydration changes, training (if youre athletic), or lab variation. If no symptoms are present, this is not concerning. Repeat CBC after a few weeks for consistency.

I recently received my blood test results, and I noticed that my eosinophil count is 8, whereas the normal reference range is 0 to 6. What could be the reason?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a lymphocyte percentage of 41.5, a total RBC count of 6.47, hemoglobin level of 18.6 g/dL, and a hematocrit (PCV) of 52.08 percent. All these values are above the reference range mentioned in the report. Should I be concerned about these results?
