What Causes High WBC And HGB Level?
What does the following mean-
Urinalysis- Mucus Profile 3+ A Few ?
On my sons last blood work a year ago his complete blood count shows High WBC and High HGB and the above for his urinalysis. I understand the bloodwork but was unsure of the above. I am asking because he had a cardiac screening a year and half ago for sports and they noted some possible problems but I cannot read it. It says something like No significant sleriorruielobes seen. The enol olvertolic LV dimension is upper NL. That is all I can decipher. The issue is I found the blood work and the cardiac screening because we have notice that he has clubbed or clubbing finger and toenails. He is 19 years old and we do not remember his nails being like that before. What are your recommendations? YYYY@YYYY .

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The WBC (white blood cells) increase in cases of infection.
An increase in neutrophils is commonly associated with increase in WBC counts.
The causes of raised WBCs are bacterial infection; stress; inflammatory conditions like appendicitis, salpingitis, etc; blood loss etc.
A high hemoglobin, a history of heart disease and clubbing of finger nails and toe nails suggests presence of congenital heart disease.
Probably, there is mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
This mixing leads to stimulation of the hemoglobin production and thus raised hemoglobin.
Stay in touch with your cardiologist regular check up and management.
Thanks and take care
