Low levels could indicate anemia.\nhttp://www.lymphomation.org/CBC-blood-counts.htm\n\nHCT - Hematocrit  (he-MAH-to-crit)\nRef.  Range 38.5 - 49.0%\nPercent of  your blood that is occupied by red blood cells. Good indicator of anemia.\n\nHGB - Hemoglobin  (HE-muh-glow-bin)\nRef.  Range 13.2 - 16.9\nHemoglobin is a protein used by red blood cells to distribute oxygen to other tissues and cells in the body.  Low levels indicate anemia.\n\nRBC - Red blood cells (erythrocytes - eh-REETH-ro-site)\nRef.  Range 4.20 - 5.70\nCells that deliver oxygen throughout the body and make blood look red. A low RBC can indicate anemia, which can lead to fatigue.\n\nRDW - Red Cell Distribution Width\nRef.  Range 11.0 - 15.0\nMeasures the range of sizes of red blood cells in a blood sample. RDW results are often used together with MCV results to determine possible cause of anemia when anemia is indicated by other test results.\n\nMPV - Mean Platelet Volume\nRef.  Range 7.5 - 11.5\nMeasures the average volume (size) of your platelets. Higher-than-normal MPV is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks and stroke.\n\n"Anemia"\nhttp://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/heart/anemia.html\n\n"Anemia, one of the more common blood disorders, occurs when the number of healthy red blood cells decreases in the body."

Hi there.. I'm a Licenced Dietetic Technician. The answer to your question....Anemia is a concern that can be fixed. Anemia is a condition in which the iron count in your blood is low meaning you have a hard time transmitting oxygen in the blood to other body parts. An easy solution is to take a simle daily supplement of 18mg/daily for 2 weeks. Then have your HGB and HCT checked again to see if the Anemia has improved. Make sure you also take a Vit C supplement with the Iron to help absorb the iron. Hope this helped. Your should have more energy because you'll have more oxygen flowing through your blood! Good luck and if you have anymore health questions feel free to ask. -Elizabeth Segler DTR/LDT

HCT = hematocrit, % of packed red blood cells in total blood volume.  Normal range for a male is 43-49%.  For women it is 37-43%.\nAnemia results from an overall decrease in RBC's, HGB, & HCT.  Symptoms are fatigue, headache, dizziness, pallor, palpitations, lack of appetite.  \nSevere anemia would include a HGB of <7-8.  Your values are much better.\nYour doctor will suggest the proper treatment.  Increase your iron intake.  HGB needs iron in order to provide oxygen to your body's cells.  Without this, you exhibit the above symptoms.

If your anemic it means you don't have enough red blood cells. Anemia can be common, especially for women that are menstrating once a month, or serious. I was anemic when I was a kid, but I out gew it with proper nutrition and vitamins.\n\nYou need to eat foods rich in iron or take an iron supplement. Maybe your doctor gave you a prescription. \n\nHere are some other resources for you.\n\nhttp://www.kidshealth.org/parent/medical/heart/anemia.

A women should get 18 milligrams of iron each day. The problem with iron is that it's not easily absorbed...96% of the iron you take in through nutrition just passes through, while only 3% of it is absorbed. There are two kinds of iron: heme iron and non-heme iron. Heme iron, which makes up 40% of the iron in meat, poultry and fish, is well absorbed.\nNon-heme iron, which constitutes 60% of the iron in animal tissue and all the iron in plants fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts, is less well absorbed. Over-the-counter blood builders made of natural non-heme forms of iron are much safer, more absorbable, and you start seeing very good results in as little as 30 days but generally a couple of months.\nIron supplements, however, should only be taken by iron-deficient anemic people, since too much iron can be toxic. Check out the two links below...one is an article on iron consumption in women, the second is a food chart for iron.

Saw U recent Q first & noticed after search found this.  This interested me 2 know 4 friend who take Iron supplement & how much is proper & what is over-dose.  Hope this helps & Also answers ur other Q today!\n\n Signs of iron overdose include severe vomiting, racing heart, bloody diarrhea, stomach cramps, bluish lips and fingernails, pale skin, and weakness. If overdose is suspected, the patient should contact poison control and/or seek emergency medical attention immediately. ... on uptake is tightly regulated by the human body, which has no physiologic means of excreting iron and regulates iron solely by regulating uptake. However, too much ingested iron can damage the cells of the gastrointestinal tract directly, and may enter the bloodstream by damaging the cells that would otherwise regulate its entry. there, it causes damage to cells in the heart, liver and elsewhere. This can cause serious problems, including the potential of death from overdose, and long-term organ damage in survivors.\n   Humans experience iron toxicity above 20 milligrams of iron for every kilogram of weight, and 60 milligrams per kilogram is a lethal dose.[5] Over-consumption of iron, often the result of children eating large quantitities of ferrous sulfate tablets intended for adult consumption, is most common toxicological cause of death in children under six. The DRI lists the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for adults as 45 mg/day. For children under fourteen years old the UL is 40 mg/day.\n      If iron intake is excessive iron overload disorders can some-times result, such as hemochromatosis. Iron overload disorders require a genetic inability to regulate iron uptake; however, many people have a genetic susceptibility to iron overload without realizing it and without knowing a family history of the problem. For this reason, people should not take iron supplements unless they suffer from iron deficiency and have consulted a doctor. Blood donors are at special risk of low iron levels and are often recommended to supplement their iron intake.\n      The medical management of iron toxicity is complex. One element of the medical approach is a specific chelating agent called deferoxamine, used to bind and expel excess iron from the body in case of iron toxicity."

Red blood cell (RBC) count. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. They also carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs so it can be exhaled. If the RBC count is low (anemia), the body may not be getting the oxygen it needs. If the count is too high (a condition called polycythemia vera), there is a risk that the red blood cells will clump together and block tiny blood vessels (capillaries).

normal findings in a platelet count are 150,000-400,000. So, 500,000 is on the low side. if your a girl, levels decrease before your period and oral contraceptives may cause increased levels. there are many over the counter drugs such as tylenol or zantac that cause decreased level as well. in short 500,000 is normal.

According to Victor Herbert, MD, a hematologist at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, there are normally about 1,000 milligrams of iron "stored" in the average adult man's body but only about 300 milligrams in a premenopausal woman's. Once women stop menstruating, however, their iron levels -- and their heart disease risk -- begin to climb, eventually matching that of men.

(m)\n\nCancer-related causes of low blood cell counts include:\n\nChemotherapy. Certain chemotherapy drugs can damage your bone marrow — the spongy material found in your bones. Your bone marrow makes blood cells. When it's damaged, your bone marrow doesn't produce as many blood cells and your blood counts drop. Your doctor can tell you whether your specific chemotherapy treatment and dose will put you at risk of low blood cell counts. \nRadiation therapy. If you receive radiation therapy to large areas of your body and especially to the large bones that contain the most bone marrow, such as your pelvis, legs and torso, you might experience low levels of red and white blood cells. Radiation therapy is less likely to have a significant effect on your platelet count. Radiation combined with chemotherapy increases your risk of low blood cell counts. \nCancers of the blood and bone marrow. Blood and bone marrow cancers, such as leukemia, attack different parts of your bone marrow. The cancerous cells can displace other cells in your bone marrow, making it difficult for your bone marrow to produce the blood cells your body needs. \nCancers that spread (metastasize). Cancer cells that break off from a tumor can spread to other parts of your body, including your bone marrow. Some examples of cancers that could spread to your bone marrow include breast cancer, lung cancer and prostate cancer. This is an unusual cause of low blood counts.
