View allI'm looking at my CBC report and I'm not sure what to make of it. The PCV value is 35, which I understand might be low? Also, the neutrophil count is at 74, TC is 9000, and lymphocytes are at 21. Could you help clarify these numbers for me? I'm a bit concerned about the low PCV.
Low PCV (35%) suggests mild anemia, which could be caused by nutritional deficiencies or other health issues. High neutrophil count (74%) points to an active infection or inflammation in your body, most likely bacterial. Your total WBC count is normal, and your lymphocyte count is not alarmingly low.

I've been dealing with some discomfort since I had an IV put in during my recent hospital visit. There's a pretty bad bruise and the area has been painful for about a week now. I'm really starting to get worried about it. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it normal for this to happen?
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing pain and bruising after the IV. It's normal to feel some discomfort, but if it's been a week and you're still in pain or notice increased swelling, redness, or warmth around the area, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any complications.
