Help beside CBC results?
Need help reading CBC results:
14.8
PLT=537 (and continually rising for months)
RDW=15.3
MO%=8.1
5.8
MO#=1.2
Everything else was in the "normal" extent. Thanks in advance.
Answers: Tarkarri is right, you should have your doctor be looking at these results and don't steal anything from Yahoo! Answers to be absolute truth. I'm not a doctor but I can tell you the little bit I do know.
n average adult masculine, the counts should be:
WBC: 3.8 - 10.8 so your counts are slightly above average
PLT: 130-400 again, elevated above average
RDW: 11-15 your levels appear to be at the upper end of normal but possibly elevated
(ANC): 1.5 - 8.0, your levels look usual
Lymphocytes: typically range between 18-48%
WBC counts are almost always elevated due to infection, but may also be caused by inflammation, leukemia, trauma, intense exercise, or stress.
e are merely two reasons the platelet counts should be elevated: the bone marrow is overproducing platelets, or the spleen is not properly filtering out platelets. One or both are possible. This could point toward a leukemia diagnosis, although less credible because of the fact you have had irregular findings for months.
Again, you should talk to your doctor about these results. I hope you and your doctor are able to find a simple explanation to your counts and that it isn't anything serious. If you hold other questions feel free to IM me (crazycanuckj) or send me an email (crazycanuckj(a)yahoo.ca).

The elevated platelet count is a nonspecific indicator of inflammation and/or infection. The same goes for the elevated white blood cell count with a preponderance of neutrophils. There are probably over one hundred different diseases - inflammatory or infectious - which could fit a CBC close to this. This could also be an early myeloproliferative disorder such as polycythemia vera. You tell us the HGB and HCT are normal, but we don't enjoy those numbers, nor do we have the RBC indices.
Come to think of it, Tarkarri is right - we can't read this with so little information. The possibilities are army. Source(s): MD hematologist / oncologist - - blood specialist and cancer specialist physician
