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.

What is a vial of blood? How much blood is in a vial?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

This problem is for my father. From the beginning of this month April, he is suffering from rapidly buzzing and ringing sound in both of his ears. We went to the doctor and the doctor told this is because of age factor. Other than this my father blood test report says low level of haemoglobin RBC 10 and other WBC and platelets are in normal range. So what problem causes buzzing and ringing sound in his ears?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My son has been suffering from a fever for the past 2 months. We have consulted a doctor, but there has been no significant relief. For the past 6 to 7 days, he has also been experiencing constipation. His blood reports are mostly normal, his platelet count is 1,05,000, and haemoglobin is 13.5. The fever is not daily but typically appears between 12 to 3 PM. We have given him Meftagesic Plus, Calpol, and Ibugesic, but the fever keeps returning twice a week.
