Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. A platelet count of 4,55,000 per microliter of blood is not dangerous. Your mother is anemic given her hemoglobin level of 8 g/dL. She should be evaluated and her anemia treated accordingly. I do not understand what you mean by visible nerves.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your laboratory reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and they are consistent with the diagnosis made by your doctor. The yellowish tint of the eyes is due to increased bilirubin levels. This is due to the increased red blood cell destruction in the spleen and is commonly a complication of hereditary spherocytosis. It is understandable that you are feeling weak since your body is producing red blood cells at an accelerated rate to compensate for the destruction occurring in the spleen.
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The RBC (red blood cells) count is normal. The red cell distribution width indicates the variation in the size of the RBCs. It is usually seen in iron deficiency anemia where the RBCs become smaller in size.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Factor 7 deficiency, also known as Alexander's disease, is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The levels of the clotting factor in the blood do not correspond to the symptoms exhibited by the individual. The severity of symptoms also varies greatly from individual to individual. Generally, it is advisable to avoid contact sports due to the risk of bleeding, either external or internal, which can be fatal in some cases.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. As per the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), only the serum ferritin levels are quite elevated, along with reduced RBC (red blood cell) count and hemoglobin levels. This picture is indicative of ineffective erythropoiesis, which can be due to either a chronic inflammatory disease or immune-mediated anemia. The treatment that you are receiving, that is, Wysolone (Prednisolone) and Danazol, is used to treat immune-mediated anemia or thrombocytopenia (in which the platelet count decreases).
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. 1. I would like to know the age of your patient and whether he is hypertensive. 2. I would advise you to ask your patient to avoid any exercise that would result in an impact, e.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your father's test reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), and he has microcytic hypochromic anemia. The most common cause of this is iron deficiency. This could be due to bleeding from duodenal ulcers over a long period of time. I would advise that he take iron and folic acid tablets after food twice daily in addition to existing medications.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. We value the high level of confidence that you have in us. Your hemoglobin and hematocrit values are slightly high. Your RBC count is only marginally elevated since the upper limit of the normal range is 5.5 million/cu.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Hemoglobin Constant Spring is non-deletional alpha thalassemia. This abnormal hemoglobin results from a point mutation at the stop codon of the α2-globin gene (TAA > CAA), which leads to the addition of 31 amino acids to a normal α-globin sequence. The heterozygote of Hb CS (hemoglobin constant spring) is clinically and hematologically normal with mild anemia in some cases, as it appears to be in this case. Heterozygous cases have a good prognosis and a fairly normal life expectancy.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Platelet count is reduced in leukemia because the cells in the bone marrow produce platelets known as megakaryocytes that are replaced by leukemic cells. If your father is receiving chemotherapy, then also all the blood counts, including platelets, will be reduced. Your oncologist will give platelet and packed cell transfusions when required. Platelets, unlike other blood cells, need not be crossmatched or typed.
