I have autoimmune thyroiditis and my blood test results was abnormal. Should I worry?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am sorry for such discomfort. I saw the report you have attached (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). You have Hemoglobin (Hb) value just less than the standard lower limit. Your Ferritin and MCV (mean corpuscular volume) value are low. Combining all these indicates iron deficiency anemia. In IDA (Iron deficiency anemia), Serum Ferritin is the earliest parameter to decrease. Ferritin indicates iron stored in our bodies. You have high Platelet and Pct (procalcitonin) value. Platelet count above 450000 is called thrombocytosis. It could be primary or secondary thrombocytosis. Anemia and infection are reasons to cause an increase in platelet or reactive thrombocytosis. Increased monocytes indicate some viral infection, most probably.

So overall, the finding I could guide you is that there is iron deficiency anemia which could be one reason for increased platelet count in your blood. Before treating IDA, the cause should be investigated, whether it is nutritional or other. I would suggest an iron-rich diet. Also, ask your treating physician to add oral iron tablets. Follow up if necessary. I hope this helps.

Thanks.
