How can a CBC test save the life of a Covid-19 patient

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please provide a detailed analysis of this blood test report and advise as soon as possible. The patient has been coughing for more than four weeks and has not experienced any cold. What could be the possible cause of this persistent cough?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My cousin recently had a CBC blood test, and the report shows Normocytic Normochromic RBC with mild erythrocytosis. Should this be a cause for concern? What can be done to manage or treat this condition? He has experienced some weight loss. He previously underwent surgery for thyroid cancer, and his latest scan is clear. He also received RAI therapy with a 100 mCi dose, and he has been doing fine since then. Is this blood report something to worry about?
