Medical Forum / General / General / March 2005Is this normal?
My CBC lab report came back. Half of the tests came back "Out of Range" and yet my doctor says they are all normal. Red Blood Cells 3.67 Hct 35.6 Hemoglobin 11.9 MCV 97 MCH 33.4 Platelets 95 Doesn't this look like anemia plus thrombopenia?? All my CBC values have been declining from year to year and, now, from month to month. Nothing to worry about?? I am 75 yo male. When the tests say "Out of Range" doesn't that mean that they are abnormal? How can my doctor say they are normal?  SignatureJames - > My CBC lab report came back.

I suggest that you visit another doctor--or as they say "Get a second opinion". You might want to visit webmd.com and do a search of anemia and thrombopenia. Download the info. Also, do a google search for Medline Plus and download those reports on these subjects. SignatureNEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

I would say that you need to sit down with your doctor and ask him/her to explain more fully. A lot depends on your medical history, medications and a discussion is beyong the purpose of the news group. If he is unable to explain the results to you any better, see a qualified internist or hematologist... IMHO, H2 |
