Brief Answer:
Reports fairly normal..
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the details posted. I would like to know some basic history of this illness.
1. How long are you suffering with the swelling?
2. Does it occur in both limbs simultaneously?
3. Is the swelling gradually worsening / improving?
4. Is it hurting?
5. Do you have this problem throughout the day or it occurs intermittently?
6. Find any factors that improves / worsens this situation?
7. Do you have chest pain, breathing difficulties or any other symptoms associated with swelling?
8. Do you have dry cough or cough with sputum?
Please answer as many questions as possible in the follow up
Answers to your questions are:
1. The total IgE value reported is absolutely within normal limits. You need not be worried about it.
2. Complete blood count revealed features of anemia (mild), probably the cause is nutritional deficiency of iron.
3. ESR may be raised probably due to anemia. However in view of ANA positive status, it needs to be evaluated further by rheumatologist.
Hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
