Hi, Father (Age 54) got a routine checkup done and his report had certain highlighted issues. Some information about my father is- lifestyle: no smoking or drinking workload: heavy eating habits: diabetic so reduced intake of sugar but have to eat outside a lot. I have attached the image of the report along with this. Some reported anomalies in the root were- 1. Total leukocyte count 11.39 2.lymphocyte percentage 16.5 3.neutrophil absolute count 9.02 4.haemoglobin 12.9 5.hematocrit (PCV) 39.3 6.mean corpuscular volume (MCV) 77.8 7.mean corpuscular haemoglobin 25.5 8.red cell distribution width SD (RDW-SD) 38.9 9.red cell distribution width (RDW-CV) 14.1 10. Platelet distribution width PDW 15.7 remarks: Alert- Mild leukocytosis what are the possible reasons and causes and treatment for this. I am worried as google suggests it could be something major as well. Please make a diagnosis and what should be the course of plan or lifestyle changes? thank you.

Relax. The reports are fine. The degree of leucocytosis is very mild and could be due to many minor conditions, and as long as he is not sick or does not have a ?fever, we need not investigate solely for the leucocytosis.

Dear user There are pattern which is good but feel are misguided habits. Doing preventive Medical Laboratory investigations directly on own with out first consulting your family physician or doctor you usually consult. Then after doing investigations if there is abnormalities there is usually habit of checking on Google though I am not totally against it as in Google you may not understand that medical literature is in what context and what it's inference and interpretation. There can be repercussions of these practices is a NORMAL PERSON CAN BECOME UNNECESSARILY AN ABNORMAL PERSON DOING MORE HARM TO SELF THAN GOOD. Now basically the above report suggests that you have only sent CBC report which suggests there's infections in the body. Consult a general physician who can advise you better antibiotics and diagnosis because only CBC is not enough to make a diagnosis and no complete medical history. Hopefully your questions is answered.
