Understanding Low CBC Results: Hemoglobin & Hematocrit Analysis


Question
I've had lab work done to these results.Any ideas...WBC3.2  LYM1.1  MID0.7  GRAN1.3 RBC4.52  HGB9.4  HCT32.0  MCV70.8  MCH20.8  MCHC29.4  RDW18.3  PLT385.  MPV7.7  ??

Answer
Hi Pat.  The results you've listed for me are all part of a CBC (Complete Blood Count).  The only abnormal results that I see here are your hemoglobin (HGB) and gematocrit (HCT).  The normal range for these tests are around 12-16 for HGB and 36-48 for HCT.  This most likely means that you are anemic.  You may need further testing to determine the reason for this, plus your doctor may say that you need treatment.  Check with your doctor.
