Brief Answer:
Spenomegaly confirmed. More information please
Detailed Answer:
I am glad to note that the provided results are normal except for the splenic size. You would have got the size from an ultrasound examination, I presume.
Could you let me know the report regarding the liver, its size and texture and also the size of the portal vein and splenic vein? If it is possible to upload the entire report it would be good.
Upload if you have the rest of the liver function test.

Brief Answer:
Spherocytosis can be associated with both.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry. Avoid trauma to the abdomen
Detailed Answer:
You could request your doctor for a blood smear examination. This will help exclude / confirm a number of diseases.
Since you are asymptomatic and platelets are normal, nothing to worry.
However take care not to get a blow in the left hypochondrium over the spleen. There are instances of splenic rupture following blunt trauma.

Monociti 0,5 0,1-1
Granulocity 3,6 2-7
Monociti 9,5 3,0-10
Lymphocyti 22,0. 20-40
Granulocity% 68,5 50-70
Diff leukocity formula
Segment 0,65 0,40-0,67
Lymphocyte 0,27 0,20-0,45
Monocity 0,04 0,02-0,10
Eozofilni 0,04. 0,02-0,04
What is your opinion of that
Did i exclude serious disease and condition with this
Thank you

Was the blood film examined by a doctor (clinical pathologist )?
Was there any mention regarding the RBCs.

It is examined in clinic laboratory probably by serious doctors
There is not mentions about RBC
On my first blood control before this only thing was high is MCHC
I guess could be spherocytosis
Examined by med biochemist

Brief Answer:
It's likely to be sherocytosis
Detailed Answer:
Biochemist is the specialist to examine biochemical parameters of blood like glucose, creatinine, cholesterol etc. The clinical pathologist is the one who should look at the blood film to know the size, shape and characters of the blood cells.
Since the MCHC is high it is likely to be spherocytosis and you can relax.
Only take care not to injure the spleen by any trauma to the abdomen.
