What Does Icteric Blood Sample Mean In Blood Test Result?
I am 27, weight approx 85kg. I dont have any previous medical problems. I donated a blood sample a few weeks ago to the NHS blood donor clinic. I do this every 3/4 months and have done for the last 5 /6years or so. Recently the NHS sent me a letter saying they analysed my latest sample and found that on separation it had a slightly more yellowy appearance than normal. They also gave me a sealed letter to give to my doctor. I have visited the doctor and taken a blood test and I noticed that as the doctor opened the letter the letter mentioned that my blood sample was icteric. What does this mean? Can I be cured? I am really worried. I googled 'icteric blood sample' and it mentioned Jaundice. I get my result next week from the doctor but I just can't stop worrying because Ifeel like I am in the dark.
Thank you for taking the time to read my comments. I look ofrward to hearing from you.
