What Does This Blood Report Indicate?
I have recently had a lot of blood tests done, since my red blood cell count is low, and the cells are enlarged. This is not due to a lack of vit b12, iron, or folate.....wbc.3 low, rbc2.2 low, hemoglobin 1.1 low, democrat 3.6 low, mcv 12 high, mch 3.9 high, rdw 2.2 high glucose serum 2 high, creation .8 low, protein .3 low, globule .1 low, a/g ratio .6 high........what do you think? My grandad died of leukemia, and my mom and sister both had breast cancer. Noone else in my family had cancer.

Hi,
Thank you for choose Health Care Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concern.
The description of your complete blood count and other blood test are not very well explained, I don’t understand why you are certain that your anemia is not due to lack of iron, vitamin B 12 ?
From your red blood cell count and HGB you have anemia, the anemia for high MCV and MCH it seen to be RBC enlarged known as macrocytic RBC, high RDW indicate mixed population of RBC with small and large, the younger RBC are the larger this happen in iron deficiency anemia or pernicious anemia.
To determine well the cause of the anemia you should do additional tests like the test for the iron in blood or vitamin B 12, also you can do a mielogram since you have family history for cancer and leukemia.
Low blood protein can happen in liver disease, kidney disease.
Hope I give answer to your problem. Feel free to ask me again
Take care,
Dr .Marsida JANKO
