Hi everyone,
First I would like to say thank you to everyone who has responded and helped others on this site as I hope you will help me too. Back in September I had a CBC done because I would have days where I wouldn't feel "well" so to say but I never had a fever. The counts were as followed:
WBC- 7.4 range (4.8-10.8)
RBC- 4.1 range (4.2-5.4)
HGB- 13.7 range (12.0-16.0)
HCT- 37 range (37-47)
MCV- 89 range (81-99)
MCH- 33.3 range (27.0-31.0)
MCHC- 37.3 range (33.0-37.0)
RDW- 12.2 range (11.5-14.5)
PLT- 236 range (150-450)
MPV- 7.2 range (7.4-10.4)
NEU- 56.3 range (50.0-70.0)
LYMP- 38.1 range (20.0-40.0)
MON- 3.9 range (4.0-10.0)
EOSI- 1.4 range (1.0-5.0)
BASO- 0.4 range (0.0-1.0)
ANC- 4.16 range (1.80-7.70)
The RBC was a bit low, but the doctor said it was fine. Then in the beginning of November, I went in for my routine testing and another CBC was done:
WBC- 5.8 range (3.6-11)
RBC- 4.37 range (3.80-5.20)
HGB- 13.9 range (12.0-16.0)
HCT- 40.9 range (37-47)
MCV- 94 range (81-99)
MCH- 31.8 range (26.0-33.0)
MCHC- 34.0 range (33.0-37.0)
RDW- 12.4 range (11.5-14.5)
PLT- 262 range (150-450)
NEU- 57 range (50.0-70.0)
LYMP- 36.0 range (20.0-40.0)
MON- 4.0 range (4.0-10.0)
EOSI- 2 range (1.0-5.0)
BASO- 1 range (0.0-1.0)
Platelet EST - Adequate
I also had a Metabolic Panel done and that was normal for all ranges.
I'm concerned about the drop in my WBC, does this indicate anything? Is this considered on the "low" side. I'm too scared to repeat the test and I admit I over analyze so much because I'm in school for Nutrition. Please somebody if they can help me with these results I'd truly appreciate it. If this was leukemia, would there be other abnormalities such as in the platelet count? Thank You!
