Have A Slight Deviation In The Blood Count In The Recent Test. All Test Done. What Does The Report Mean?

I haven't been feeling like my self, so my doctor ordered some routine test. A CBC, CMP and a TSH. I have recently had bronchitis, sinusitis, and have had some squamous cell carcinoma spots removed over the last month. They just found more spots that came back positive. The WBC was slightly elevated at 11.7, Hematocrit47.8 the MCHC, was slightly low at 31, and the ANC was 8.2 . All other were in range. What does it mean? Is there a test I should be asking them for?

Hi!
your wbc count is slightly elevated at11.7 as the normal reference range is 4-11
MCHC is mildly reduced as the normal reference range is 31.5-34.5
ANC i.e absolute neutrophil count is raised as the normal is 2-7.YOUR TEST RESULTS INDICATE MILD HYPOCHROMIA AND NEUTROPHILIC LEUCOCYTOSIS which can be due to mild bacterial infection or inflammation anywhere in the body.This can also happen as an after effect of a procedure and related stress.Hope this helps you !take care!
