I have received my blood report. The Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) is 15.1 percent, which is slightly high by 1.1 percent according to the report, and lymphocytes are also slightly elevated at 40.4 percent. My platelet count is 154,000/mm. Could you please suggest if these results indicate any underlying issue?

Slightly high RDW and lymphocytes may suggest past infection or mild inflammation. Platelets are within normal range. No major concern.

I have just received my CBC report. I would like to know which specific counts or parameters in the CBC indicate a weakened immune system, as there are many values listed and I am unsure which ones are important.

It is about my sister she is 20 years old and healthy but she faints and becomes unconscious at any time for example while eating sitting standing or sleeping. Is there any psychological problem because her blood report and blood pressure are normal.

When you have a blood test, do you look at the needle go in?
