DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM

YOU HAVE PROVIDED INCOMPLETE INFORMATION OF THE INVESTIGATION VALUES

AS HIGH WBC, RBC AND PLATELET CAN BE SEEN IN DISEASEE CALLED POLYCYTHEMIA VERA AND THESE PATIENTS CAN ALSO SUFFER FROM HYPERTENSION

AS SUCH BP OF 154/110 IN SUCH A YOUNG BOY IS A POINT OF URGENT CONCERN

I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TO CONSULT A HEMATOLOGIST FOR ANY UNDERLYING BLOOD DISORDER

IT WOULD ALSO BE BETTER IF AN RENAL DOPPLER AND ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IS DONE

YOU CAN MESSAGE ME THE REPORTS SO THAT I CAN HELP YOU

HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
