So I'm trying to wrap my head around some recent blood test results and I'm a bit puzzled. My PDW and PLCR numbers seem pretty high, even though my platelet count is normal. The PDW is 19.2, PLCR is 52.5, and my platelet count is 210,000. Just as a reference, my platelet count was 255,000 back in August 2016. Should I be worried about the PDW and PLCR values? What could this mean for my overall health?

These values suggest that there may be some changes in the size and distribution of platelets in your blood. It could be due to various reasons such as inflammation, infection, or certain medical conditions. I would recommend further evaluation by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm a bit worried about my health lately. I recently had a throat infection and although I'm feeling better now, my haemoglobin is at 9.5. My other CBC tests seem normal. I had a baby via cesarean section back in September 2016. Could you help me understand why my ESR levels might be increasing?
ESR can be raised in a lot of conditions of inflammation. Need not worry about that. You can take a tab. Livogen once a day after food for a month and have a high protein diet. Consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood test results showing high lymphocytes. Is this something I should be worried about? Plus, I've been losing weight unexpectedly. Could these things be connected?
High lymphocytes in the blood, known as lymphocytosis, can be caused by various factors such as infections, autoimmune disorders, and certain types of cancer like lymphoma. Since you are also experiencing excessive weight loss, it is important to further investigate the underlying cause. I would recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle is important.
