Hi doctor, I had a master health checkup and found the following abnormalities. A few values are out of range and they are as follows. Hemoglobin 12.7, total RBC count 5.62, MCV 62.4, MCH 19.2, MCHC 30.8, WBC count 3400, and platelet count 1.62. What medication should I take to increase the levels of MCV, MCH, MCHC, and WBC count. Please advise.
Hi, Welcome to the icliniq.com. I have read your attached report (attachment removed to protect patient identity), and the following is my opinion for your case. Your total WBC count is borderline low. It can be decreased temporarily due to some inflammation. You have to repeat CBC (complete blood count) after ten days to recheck total WBC count. Your low MCV, high red blood cell count and borderline low hemoglobin could be due to some hemoglobinopathy. For that, I suggest you investigate further with Hb electrophoresis by HPLC method (high-performance liquid chromatography) and serum iron profile study. You can revert with reports once done to guide you further. Meanwhile, you can take Ferrous ascorbate tablet for one month to raise hemoglobin.
