RBC was 6.33 & hemoglobin was 17.8 PFA

2020-07-27 20:12:34
Hi docs. I have done cbc where my RBC was 6.33 and hemoglobin was 17.8, Hepatocrit was 49.84. Note, I had drank beer in moderation a night before and had water and food fasting while giving sample in the morning. I don't have any specific visible symptoms. PFA attached full count. Could you tell me if it is alarming or nothing to worry? Thanks in advance A

You have your Hb on the higher side. That means ypu are polycythemic. This can happen if a person smokes or recently been to high altitudes or in case of dehydration (which in this case scenariocan be due to beer).  I would like to suggest upu yo keep yourself hydrated. Drink ample amount of water. And repeat the sample after 15 days. Share reports then for omline consultation.
