I recently received my routine checkup report, but since I am not from a medical background, I tried to look up the meaning of the tests online to see if everything is normal. However, I am still unsure. My results are Hemoglobin: 17.3 (High) RBC count: 5.9 (High) Hematocrit: 54.2 (High) Absolute Basophil Count: 00 (Low) MPV: 11.6 (High) Total Cholesterol Ratio: 2.64 (Low) BUN: 8.61 (Low) Could you please explain what these results mean? Are they within normal limits, or is there any cause for concern?

High Hb/RBC/HCT may suggest dehydration or high altitude living. Low BUN, Basophils not concerning. MPV high means larger platelets. Cholesterol ratio good.

Dear Doctor, I have attached my cousin blood report. Kindly review it and guide me on what to do next. Is there anything serious in the report that we should be concerned about?

Hi Doctor, I have been experiencing fever and headache without any cough, runny nose, or sore throat. I consulted a doctor who initially suspected dengue and advised me to take paracetamol. However, after receiving my lab report, it shows no signs of dengue. The concern is that for the past few days, my fever only goes down temporarily with paracetamol. What could be the cause, and what should I do next?
