I have been anemic for the last couple months and my lab numbers keep falling. Before my iron infusion on 1/13/15 my results are:
WBC 4.0 - 10.7 K/uL 6.3
RBC 3.6-5.10 10*6 3.65
HEMOGLOBIN 11.4 - 15.5 GM/Dl 9.0 (L)
HEMATOCRIT 36 - 46% 28 (L)
MCV 80 - 98 76 (L)
MCH 27 - 34 25 (L)
MCHC 33 - 37% 33
RDW 8.0 - 18.5 14.6
PLATELET 140-450 10*3 462 (H)
FERRITIN 13-150 ng/ml 6 (L)
so I had my iron infusion on 1/13/15 and had to get my labs redone. The results from 1/30/15 were
WBC 4.0 - 10.7 K/uL 6.6
RBC 3.6-5.10 10*6 3.82
HEMOGLOBIN 11.4 - 15.5 GM/Dl 9.5 (L)
HEMATOCRIT 36 - 46% 32 (L)
MCV 80 - 98 84
MCH 27 - 34 25 (L)
MCHC 33 - 37% 30 (L)
RDW 8.0 - 18.5 20.6 (H)
PLATELET 140-450 10*3 413
FERRITIN 13-150 ng/ml 216 (H)
I have never had a high RDW and my ferritin went from a 6 - 216... yet all of my other labs (hemoglobin, hematocrit, mchc, mch etc) are still pretty low. I am just wondering if anyones lab have been wacky like this. I have alot going on in my body and this kind of worries me since I don't need anything else on my plate.
Thanks for your thoughts!!
