What the doc highlighted to me:
- Haemoglobin: 9.0 g/dL (normal range 12.0-16.0 g/dL)
- Haematocrit: 28% (normal range 36-46%)
- MCV: 58 fL (normal range 76-96 fL)
- MCH: 19 pg (normal range 27-32 pg)
He explained everything to me, but I didn't understand most of it. All I know is: he was happy that it wasn't Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and that my kidneys are in the clear.
Results, as before:
Dyserythropoietic changes present. Iron deficiency and thalassaemia trait have to be considered.
Have to give up more blood this Saturday morning to ascertain whether it is the former or the latter.
Wish you were here already. =(

simply. you don't have enough blood either due to an iron deficiency, which he cld put u on a course of iron pills. or thealassaemia (minor) which is a blood disorder but little needs/can be done. only if it gets really bad, then u need a blood transfusion.
thanks, sweetie.
