My recent CBC blood test report shows PDW of 17.1, WBC of 11.4 (normal range is 4 to 9), and HCT of 41.8 (normal range is 34 to 38). Could you please advise me on what these results indicate and provide your valuable suggestion?

Slightly elevated PDW and WBC may indicate inflammation or infection. HCT is mildly high. Repeat CBC and consult if symptoms persist.

I am 67 years old and have been experiencing chest pain. My blood report shows a low count of monocytes, and my chest X ray shows no signs of any problem. I believe the chest pain might be due to acidity.

My father is 69 years old and is recovering from a post pneumonia lung infection. He has high blood pressure and diabetes, for which he takes daily medication. We did a blood test, and the report shows, platelets is 5.20 lacs, haemoglobin is 10.8, Serum SGOT is 99.33, Serum SGPT is 57.40, and D Dimer Quantification is 2544.47. What other tests should be done? Is this condition dangerous as the D Dimer is very high along with elevated platelets, SGOT, and SGPT? Last month, his platelets were 2.72 lacs.
