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.

I am 34 weeks pregnant. I have attached my USG report. Could you please help me understand the report. I noticed that the FL (femur length) measurement is lower compared to other parameters, and I am not sure what that means. Is my baby okay?

I am 53 years old and have been experiencing fever (99 to 104F) for the past week. My recent blood report shows: WBC: 171,770 cells/cmm Hemoglobin: 9.1 g/dL RBC: 2.60 million/cmm Blasts: 60% I am also experiencing gum swelling and bleeding. Please advise what could be the reason for the increased WBC count, and which specialist should I consult for further evaluation.
