Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern.

1. It will be wise to consult a pathologist/Hematologist regarding your laboratory values as clinching an online diagnosis without physical examination and associated symptoms by above parameters are almost impossible, however following things can be interpreted:

i. Low blood values point towards Anemia [possible iron deficiency anemia] commonest being nutritional,chronic blood loss,increased demand during childhood,pregnancy,lactation
ii. although low platelet count [thrombocytopenia] is usually an abnormal finding but it should be assessed with bleeding time [BT],Clotting Time [CT]
iii. aspartate amino transferase is a liver enzyme and although low level are not seen significantly under clinical setting, however low values could be due to associated urinary infection and/or malnutrition
iv. The APTT [activated partial thromboplastin time] is frequently used to monitor patients receiving unfractionated heparin [UFH]. However, the APTT is very sensitive to the levels of Factor VIII which is an acute phase protein. If the Factor VIII levels are raised then the APTT may be misleadingly short and not accurately reflect the degree of anticoagulation. In these cases, anti-Xa assays should be performed to monitor anticoagulation.
