Question: I had blood work done recently and the results have been sent to me, my Hematocrit is 45.5 H, my MCHC is 31.5 L, and m absolute neutrophils7250, absolute Lymphocytes 2332, absolute monocytes 700, absolute eosinophils 276, absolute basophils 42, Neutrophils 68.4, Lymphocytes 22.0, Monocytes 6.6, eosinophils 2.6 and Basophils 0.4. My results also indicate a positive ANA, Homogeneous patter associated with Lupus and a Speckled patter associated with MCTD, Lupus, Sjogren's and dermatolmysitis, In addition my Total Cholesterol is high at 248, LDL is high at 143. Triglycerides are 58 and HDL Cholesterol is 93. My platlet count could not be reported due to platelet clumping. I have tested positive in the past for Antiphospholid Protien and take a baby asprin each day per dr. I was also diagnosed with MTCD. I am just curious if you are able to give insight as to what these # would indicate and how concerned should I be.


My platelet was clumping and was noted that the platelet estimate appears normal. What does the clumping indicate? Do you see concerns surrounding my autoimmune or can there be something more occurring, are these #'s indicators for cancer? My hemotologist indicated on my last visit that I had lymphnodes swollen of my left side during my last 2 visits 2 years apart. He had a CT scan done to rule out cancer because I had some swelling just below my neck and all came back normal.
