Brief Answer:
Please, upload the entire report!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these low red blood cells and low platelets. These alone will not allow me to provide much information on this. I will suggest that you upload the entire report to me for review. This way, I will look at other elements on the report for proper interpretation. Also, I Will like to know of how low are these values.

To upload an image, click on the upload icon to the right of your dashboard and follow the onscreen instructions. You may also send it directly to customer service at YYYY@YYYY and request that it should be uploaded to your query.

I hope to hear from you and promise to respond promptly. Until next, I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
Let’s wait and get that for a comprehensive interpretation!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

When we request further laboratory testing, then we often suspect that something wasn’t right. Let’s wait for this and should it still be low, then we would get serious and probe further. Let me kindly suggest that you get a copy of these results so as to upload for me to interpret and get back to you.

I wish you well and let’s stay in touch!
