In my blood report, I have a high sedimentation rate (ESR) and low MCHC. What does this indicate and which type of specialist should I consult?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Elevated ESR suggests inflammation, low MCHC points to iron deficiency anemia. A general physician or hematologist should assess cause. Start with iron and inflammation markers.

Take a IRON STUDIES (IRON + TIBC) Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test

I have major health issues and my body is not becoming healthy like a normal body as per age. I used to take juice and also ate chicken etc but I see no effect of these protein diets. My weight is not increasing, my skin is becoming dull and I am facing weight loss. I am not getting a solution to this problem. What should I do to come out of this issue? I had also done all the x rays and some 2 to 3 mm stones were found in my report on the left side of my stomach.

My blood report shows Anti-Chlamydial IgM Antibody of 1.28 and Anti-Chlamydia IgG of 0.16. Does this mean I have a recent infection for the first time, or could it be an old infection. I am experiencing abdominal pain, as well as pain in my leg, hand, and chest, all on the left side. My muscles also feel tight. Based on these values, how recent might the infection be. I am very scared and would really appreciate your help and guidance on what to do next.
