Hello, experts,
How would you interpret the peripheral blood smear from this report:

CBC: baso 1, eo 3, seg 56, ly 35, mono 5; tr +++
Only a few neutrophils show toxic granulation.
Erythrocytes - partially macrocytic.

I was referred for further testing due to prolonged macrocytosis. This result is a week old, and there wasn't a formal clinical opinion included.

Thanks.

Sandra Vaughn50 said:It is necessary (if it hasn't been done already) to determine your Vitamin B12 and folic acid concentrations. Have you been consuming excessive amounts of alcohol? Are you a vegetarian? What about your other blood cell counts (WBC, Platelets?) Have LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) and bilirubin levels been checked? Do you suffer from any gastrointestinal issues?

I don't want to be repetitive, but I have already provided an answer regarding the liver lesion in that other thread.

Thank you for the prompt response!

The testing for B12 and folic acid was sufficient; the values fall within the normal reference range.
Unfortunately, I have consumed quite a bit of alcohol over the last few months. However, I haven't had anything to drink in the last two months.
I try not to be strictly vegetarian; I eat meat a few times a week, though it isn't my primary focus.
I am unsure what "L" refers to—if you mean cholesterol, my total is 4.0, HDL is 1.4, LDL is 2.1, and triglycerides are 1.1.

I assume you are referring to the urine analysis—LDH was not tested, but bilirubin came back negative.
I experience significant burping after fatty meals. Generally, I don't have stomach problems, but lately, I’ve been quite bloated (which I suspect is a side effect of antibiotics, a colonoscopy, or some other higher power at work).

So, are you suggesting I have my LDH rechecked? Generally speaking, the bloodwork looks fine, aside from the specific values I mentioned in my previous post. Thank you once again! 🙂

Hello everyone,

For quite some time now, I’ve been feeling weak, lethargic, and somewhat listless. I have spent much of this past year undergoing various medical tests. My most recent blood work actually surprised my doctor, and while I’ve attempted to research it online, I haven't found anything particularly helpful. I would appreciate it if someone could offer some insight or perhaps point me in the right direction regarding these results. It might be worth noting that I am scheduled to have a wisdom tooth extracted in a few days, and I am currently finishing another course of antibiotics due to an infection. For context, I am 24 years old and had no health issues prior to this year; however, things have changed significantly, and I am now on my seventh round of antibiotics since June.

Thank you all in advance
