What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?

default
Posted on Mon, 11 Jul 2016
Question: I am pregnant and they took my blood on Tuesday to figure out my HCG levels and CBC. My WBC is normal but my lymph are very low. What could this mean? I have been reading that I could have a auto immune disorder.

Here are the blood results:
Component Value Ref Range & Units Status
WBC 6.4 4.0 - 10.0 X10'3 Final
RBC 3.74 (L) 3.85 - 5.20 X10'6 Final
Hemoglobin 11.9 11.5 - 16.0 gm/dL Final
Hematocrit 35.5 34.7 - 46.0 % Final
MCV 94.9 80.0 - 97.0 fL Final
MCH 31.8 26.0 - 34.0 pg Final
MCHC 33.5 32.0 - 36.0 gm/dL Final
RDW 12.9 11.5 - 15.0 % Final
Platelet Count 298 140 - 440 X10'3 Final
MPV 9.5 6.5 - 12.4 fL Final
Auto ABS Neut 5.11 1.50 - 8.00 X10'3 Final
Auto ABS Lymph 0.66 (L) 0.80 - 4.00 X10'3 Final
Auto ABS Mono 0.51 0.00 - 1.20 X10'3 Final
Auto ABS Eos 0.08 0.00 - 0.30 X10'3 Final
Auto ABS Baso 0.02 0.00 - 0.30 X10'3 Final
Auto % Neut 80.1 (H) 37.0 - 80.0 % Final
Auto % Lymph 10.3 (L) 16.0 - 51.0 % Final
Auto % Mono 8.0 0.0 - 12.0 % Final
Auto % Eos 1.3 0.0 - 8.0 % Final
Auto % Baso 0.3 0.0 - 3.0 % Final
I am just really concerned because how low the AUTO Lymph is.

My HCG Level was at 48500.

Brief Answer:
Non worrisome lab findings

Detailed Answer:
Madam,

Let me tell you that you should not worry about these lab results if you do not have any problem. It is sometimes common to have low RBC, Low Lymphocytes and higher neutrophils, they may be considered un important if there are no symptoms.
You may be having asymptomatic viral infection or Urinary tract infection. Keep drinking good amount of water, good food. Take Iron and folic acid supplements whatever your doctor prescribes during the pregnancy.
Do not worry about un necessary things like this one.
If you have symptoms like fever, abdominal pain, sorethroat or muscle pain then you can see a doctor with this report.

Good luck and have a happy pregnancy. Enjoy the phase.

I have no known issues... I was reading online that this could be caused by HIV? Is that true? It really freaks me out!

Brief Answer:
Not possible

Detailed Answer:
I do not think HIV as a possibility unless yuo have a high risk behaviour or had recent transfusion of blood products from a HIV patient.

So both the above high risk behaviours are rare and the chances of HIV is also very rare.
