Post by: medohamideh on February 01, 2012, 05:29:03 AM

Hello Dears .

kindly i have a question about my CBC test  (i did this test by chance and i dont feel any bad or not good )

i have a test of CBC :

and i have some strange result like these >>>
rbc is 6.7 upnormal
mcv is 66 low
rdw is 15 upnormal
mch is 22 low

hgb is 14.3 fair

but these results and others  are good like
wcb  6.87
baso 0.518
eos 0.55
lym 22.8
plt 275

iron and ferritin is good also
could i have something wrong (leukemia or any other cancer kinds)




actually i have this CBC test by chance and i dont feel bad or anything ,then i go to  my doctor to see why this happen and he said that this is a Thalasemia Trait but i just need to be sure as i dont think i have this Thal

The tests do indicate the possibility of thal trait, but in no way is there anything that would suggest cancer or leukemia. A test called hemoglobin electrophoresis can better determine if you are a thal carrier.
