What Does Raised RBC Count And Hemoglobin With Increased Hematocrit Indicate?

Brief Answer: Not very alarming... Detailed Answer: Hi, I went through the reports. You have a raised RBC count, hemoglobin with increased hematocrit and vitamin D and B12 deficiency. It would be good to know if you have any specific symptoms that you discussed with a doctor before tests. If you are asymptomatic, the values are not very alarming. Clinically, raised RBC + hemoglobin + hematocrit may be relative to lack of dehydration or due to other reasons. You can consider repeating complete hemogram say after couple of weeks and after drinking plenty of fluids. Visit an hematologist thereafter if you high values persist. Vitamin D and B12 deficiency may be due to nutritional cause or inefficient absorption/secretion. I recommend that you include plenty of meat, milk, cereals, fortified supplements. Staying exposed to the sun for 15 - 20 minutes will also benefit you. Additionally you can talk to your treating doctor for oral supplements of b12 and vitamin d. Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards

Brief Answer: Wish you good health... Detailed Answer: I always insist my patients to undergo tests after a clinical examination. It not only makes things easier and simple, it also helps you order relevant tests and avoid unnecessary ones. At this point of time weight loss is unrelated to your reports. Vitamin deficiency may be secondary to low weight. You can also check your thyroid hormones if you are not adding weight despite strong dietary efforts. You are free to contact me in future. Good luck!!
