Question

My PT level is 19.3 and I'm a bit worried is this something serious that needs attention or could it improve as I get older? Also, would it be safe to go through surgery with levels this high?

A PT of 19.3 is high and could delay surgery. It may point to liver issues or vitamin K deficiency. Needs further evaluation and correction before any operation.

Question

I'm looking at my blood work results and I have a few concerns. It mentions predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes, and the platelets seem adequate on the smear. There's a bunch of numbers too: WBC is 8.74, Neutrophils are 59.7, Lymphocytes 34.9, Monocytes 2.5, Eosinophils 2.4, and Basophils 0.2. Then it lists the absolute counts like Neutrophil absolute count at 5.22 and Lymphocyte absolute count at 3.05. My RBC is 5.24 and Haemoglobin is 15.5. Platelet count is 155, with some measurements called PDW at 18.2, MPV at 12.8, and PLCR at 46.1. Is there something here to be cautious about? Do I need any treatment or should I be focusing on anything specific regarding these results? I'm not on any medications at the moment.
