Hi:

I am not a doctor and they really are the ones best suited to read the results, however I do know as long as the lab isn't indicating the results to be out of the normal ranges either high or low, they are considered to be OK...high or low normal is still normal.

No worries - Stephanie

Those labs look wonderful to me, the only one a little low is the MCH and that indicates that the average amount of hemoglobin in a blood cell is a little low, but given the other values regarding the red blood cells look great, this is really not a concern. I would definitely not worry about these this weekend... but would rather go out and celebrate!

Hope that helps ease your mind.

Hi Lisa

I cant add anything more other than they look good to me as well,,,you seem to be in the right place in all the (reference ranges).

I used to plot all my blood results on an excel spread sheet and I became more familiar each time with what each one meant...

Ok,...... a little research! but I found it facinating.

I didn't expect anyone to actually be a Doctor on this board, I have never recieved my results in writing so was a little concerned. I am not even sure if they are higher than the last time I had blood drawn.

I will be calling my Dr. athis morning to find out more thank you.
