Blood film

Hi, I recently received a copy of my blood results with a blood film report.

I understand most of it but although I know what these terms are, I don’t know their significance.

Hb 79
Hct 0.27
Rcc 3.6
Mcv 77
Mch 22
Mchc 287
Plats 150 only normal count
Neuts 1.2
Lymphs 0.6

That’s ok. These are as good or better than normal.

However the report says dimorphic (yep, know what that means) normocytic and normochromic (know what that means) red cell fragments present, nucleated red blood cells present, platelet anisocytosis with large and giant platelets.

I don’t know if the last part of the report is significant. I’ve also noted a couple of my biochemistry results are a bit off too. My ca, protein are low and couple of my liver enzymes high. The ALP has always been a little raised but it’s steadily climbing each test and now my AST increased on the last couple of tests as well.

I’d be grateful if anyone has insight as I don’t have any appt with the haematologist for months and my Physician doesn’t seem to check my blood results (except the hb for transfusion purposes).

Thank you.

Carol.
