What Does The Rbc Level Indicate In The Cbc Report?
hi! my cbc report is as follows:
haemoglobin 11.4
packet cell,volume 35.3
tlc 11.8
rbc 5.42
mcv 65.2
mch 21.1
mchc 32.4 platelet count 301
rdw 17.8
and the differential leukocyte count:
neutrophils 57.3
lymphocytes 31.6
monocytes 9.2
eosinophils 1.3 basophils 0.6
what does it indicate??why is the tlc and rbc high?can u please tell me

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of the blood report is as follows:
The hemoglobin and hematocrit are slightly reduced from the normal level.
The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) are also reduced.
Thus, there is microcytic anemia.
A peripheral blood film examination needs to be done to assess the red cell morphology.
The red blood cell count is slightly elevated.
This elevation could be due to negative feed back caused by anemia condition.
The increase in white blood cell count occurs commonly due to infections.
However, the differential white blood cell count is within normal limits.
There is nothing to worry about elevated red blood cells and white blood cell levels.
Correction of anemia will correct the red blood cell count.
Thanks and take care
