Can someone explain my blood test results?

Patient's Query

I would like to have my blood test result be explained to me. Thank you

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

One of the crucial parts of your well-being is your capability to interpret blood analyses. Usually, these outcomes are the source of several pieces of information, among them vitamin amounts, the equilibrium of hormones, as well as signs of inflammation and infection. Disorders like chronic discomfort, tiredness, and weakness can be regarded as typical consequences of a certain hormonal imbalance. Discrepancies, on the other hand, might come from a wide range of reasons including poor nutrient intake through cardiology to some internal blockage. It’s the duty of the doctor to enumerate the results which patients require to be aware of and to advise them according to their particular situation.

Hello doc. Can an adult male contract hiv if he ingested breast milk of an infected person.

Male | 32

The likelihood of an adult male contracting HIV through consuming infected breast milk is extremely low but not impossible. HIV typically spreads through specific fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. Symptoms of HIV may include fatigue, fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes, though many remain asymptomatic initially. If you have concerns about potential exposure, consider consulting a healthcare professional for guidance and testing. Remember, early detection and treatment can greatly improve health outcomes, so seeking expert advice is always a wise choice.

My nephew is 4 months old. 2 months ago he went I'll . we had to take him blood transfusion immediately because the HB was dropped to 4 only . now the things happen again at the age of 4 months . we had to take him again blood transfusion. we did his Electrophoresis Report. here are the results HbA 55% HbA2 2.0% HbF 43% we want to know if there's any thelesmia or not or if HbA can be increase with age

Male | 4 months

An elevated level of HbF was what was observed and this is a common thing found in babies. Such results would indicate that a defect might be present in the body like beta-thalassemia at the beginning. However, these could also be seen in healthy infants. Increasing HbA levels naturally may follow his growing up. The main symptoms of anemia can cause fatigue or weakness, but it’s very important to take your child to a doctor and test for other reasons.

I have vbas and lost too much blood my hb was down to 7.2 and had excessive clots in few days I did blood transfusion and vinofer 3 shots Now my hb is 8.5 and I have notice blood clots today which is 13 days after delivery What is the reason for it and what should I do now ?

Female | 25

It's great that you've received treatment and your hemoglobin is improving. Blood clots postpartum can occur due to a variety of reasons, including changes in hormone levels and blood flow. Monitor the size and frequency of the clots; if they increase or are accompanied by severe pain, dizziness, or heavy bleeding, reach out to your healthcare provider promptly. Ensure you're staying hydrated and following up on your recovery with a doctor who can provide tailored care.

I am having swollen lymph nodes in my neck since two years I have done fnac and biopsy both comes with result reactive lyphadenopathy....is it Cancer????

Female | 23

Reactive lymphadenopathy means the lymph nodes are responding to something which is not necessarily cancer. This can be caused by infections such as colds. Skin conditions can also cause them. Your doctor might want to keep an eye on them for a while or do more tests to be sure. Changes are always best recorded and communicated with a healthcare provider.

Female | 55

Fever can be out by infections such as the flu. Vaccination can sometimes cause low-grade fever as a normal reaction. Since you have a rituximab appointment on 1 October, you must explain your fever to your doctor before proceeding with the treatment. They will give you the best advice tailored to your situation.

Im 25 years and I have lymph node in underarms and it's slightly painful with fever doctor says it's TB but there are no as symptoms as of now

Male | 25

Lymph nodes can become sore due to infections or inflammation, and a fever indicates that your body is reacting to something. These common examples could be caused by tuberculosis, and what if there are no other signs? It’s crucial to follow your doctor's advice, as they will likely recommend tests to confirm the diagnosis. The process should include bed rest, hydration, and stress management. Please schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss your treatment options and any additional symptoms.

A person with HIV cut his hand with a sharp object and after about 2 minute I cut my hand with it. Can I get HIV? it's just scratched with little blood?

Female | 34

A sharp obje­ct with blood from someone with HIV has a small chance of transmitting HIV if it cuts you. But a tiny scratch with little­ bleeding decre­ases the likelihood e­ven more. The risk is e­xtremely low! Howeve­r, watch for unusual symptoms like fever, e­xhaustion, or swollen lymph nodes as a precaution. If anything se­ems off, reach out to a doctor without delay.

i am a 53 years male person, for last one month i feel swelling in my nech ,can i infected with cancer

Male | 53

A swelling in your ne­ck could come from different cause­s - not cancer alone. Infections or othe­r issues might make it happen. Cance­r wouldn't be the only re­ason for neck swelling. Along with a lump, feve­r, cough, and weight loss would occur if it were cance­r. It's wise to let a doctor examine­ you thoroughly and pinpoint the trigger behind the­ swelling.

I'm a 20 year old male, with one swollen groin lymph node or so it feels that I've discovered about a month and a half ago, it was tender for about the first week but isn't anymore

Male | 20

When you have infections, the lymph nodes in your groin tend to swell up. It could be that there is a simple infection or in some rare cases, something more serious. Since it is now more than a month and there is no pain, this shows positive progress. It would be wise however to see a doctor if they do not go away or you experience any other symptoms.

Male | 38

With your platelets decreasing to only 9000, you need to act quickly. Your symptoms include a high fever, body pain, and bleeding. These could be caused by infections like dengue or typhoid. For treatment, you will undergo a platelet transfusion along with medications such as antibiotics. You’ll need to stay in the ICU so your condition can be monitored closely until your platelets increase. To help with your recovery, make sure to get plenty of sleep and eat healthy food.

Female | 29

High ESR is a sign of inflammation or the presence of an infection, but it doesn’t always mean that it will be passed on to your baby through breastfeeding. In the majority of cases, infections can't be transmitted by the mothers through breast milk. It is very important that you observe your symptoms, for instance, fever or any unusual weariness, and seek advice from your health provider for specific instructions and treatment options.

My hemoglobin report 8.2 and my esr 125

Male | 37

According to your test results, your hemoglobin level is low, which can cause symptoms like feeling tired and weak. The high ESR number could mean that your body is inflamed. From simple ones, such as anemia, to complex ones, such as infection-are sorts of them. If you want to take your hemoglobin to the right levels, you may have to take in more iron-rich foods by way of diet. Plus, do not forget that the root cause of inflammation is there and lower your ESR count. To improve your hemoglobin, you may need to eat more iron-rich foods, and addressing the underlying cause of inflammation can help lower your ESR level.

Male | 23

The results of your blood test are nearly within the normal limits. You have a low platelet count, which can be caused by different factors including infections or drugs. Equivalent mean platelet volume does not suggest cancer. It could perhaps be indicative of disorders like platelet destruction. If you do feel difficulties such as abnormal bleeding or bruises, do consult a hematologist.

I have done health checkup for blood test ..need to know if everything is normal ..I feel fatigue sometimes

Male | 42

Looking tired sometimes can have so many different explanations. The results of your blood screening can show some hints. In case your iron level turns out to be low, your body will be susceptible to fatigue. Having a diet rich in spinach and beans can help increase your iron level. Deficiency of sleep can be a reason for tiredness, too. Regularize the habit of going to bed early and having quality sleep. If the blood test results show any problems, your doctor can find you the appropriate remedy.
