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?

Normocytic normochromic RBCs are generally normal. Mild erythrocytosis could result from smoking, dehydration, or hypoxia. Since your cousin had thyroid cancer, regular monitoring is advised. Consult your doctor for tailored evaluation.

Hello, please check my report and tell me if everything is okay. What does an increased MPV mean? And why is my RBC count also increased?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

It has been almost 2 months that I have been suffering from cough and cold. My blood report indicates a cold infection. Even after completing the course of antibiotics, I have not found much relief. I still have terrible coughing fits at times, which sometimes cause me to choke. What could be the reason, and what should I do next?

My globulin level is 3.9 gm in my report, and it is marked in red, which I understand may indicate a problem. Could you please explain if this is dangerous?
