QuestionMy CBC results were all normal except for WBC=3.6 (3.8-10.8) and MCH=3.3 (27.0-33.0) - Comprehensive Metabolic Panel also normal. Low risk cholesterol and below average LDL/HDL Ratio. What could be cause of abnormals? How long should I wait to have another CBC drawn? ;o) Thank you!
AnswerWhen were the CBC and Comprehensive Metabolic Panel done? Were any other lab tests done along with those tests?
Can you submit all of the results of the CBC and Complete Metabolic panel? And, if any other lab tests were ordered, please submit those as well.
There are different types of WBCs, e.g. neutrophils, lymphocytes monocytes, platelets, basophils, eosinophils and without knowing all of those values from the specific CBC it is not possible to determine any meaningful diagnostic criteria with any degree of accuracy.
It may be more convenient to scan the lab results into .jpgs or pdf format and email them to me at e.burling@hawaiiantel.net
You may want to remove any personally identifying information and just provide the lab test results.
Thanks
