PDW-23,MPV-14.9and PLCR-63.3 in my blood.C-reactive protine test-33.platelet-1,09,000,RBC-... IT MEANS?

pdw, mpv AND PLCR at high and platelet, RBC, haemoglobine,HTC(PCV) at low. C-Reactive protin test high at 33. what does it mean?

PDW-23,MPV-14.9and PLCR-63.3 in my blood.C-reactive protine test-33.platelet-1,09,000,RBC-... IT MEANS?
The complete blood count (CBC) checks your white blood cells (WBCs) as well as your red blood cells. The red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mcv, mch, mchc and rdw all are checks for different kinds of anemia.

















RDW- The Red Cell Distribution Width is a numerical expression which correlates with the degree of anisocytosis (variation in volume of the population of red cells.As the patient's new, normally-sized cells are produced, the RDW initially increases, but then decreases as the normal cell population gains the majority





RDW Normal values:


11.0 – 16.0%


So @ 23 is high.





MPV- Mean Platelet Volume -Vary with platelet production; younger platelets are larger than older ones.





MPV - Mean Platelet Volume Ref. Range 7.5 - 11.5


Measures the average volume (size) of your platelets. Higher-than-normal MPV is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks and stroke





So, @ 14.9; that's high.














Platelet Count- Platelets are involved in making your blood clot; along with coagulation factors produced by the liver. PLATELET COUNT


Normal Adult Range: 130 - 400 thous/mcl


Optimal Adult Reading: 265


Higher ranges are found in children, newborns and infants





So at only 109,000. that's very low. Occasionally, the PLT CT decrease to very low levels with certain viral infections.








HEMATOCRIT (HCT) or Packed Cell Volume (PCV)





If the PCV is low, there are fewer red cells in the body than we would expect. This condition is referred to as anemia








Normal Adult Female Range: 37 - 47%


Optimal Adult Female Reading: 42%


Normal Adult Male Range 40 - 54%


Optimal Adult Male Reading: 47


Normal Newborn Range: 50 - 62%


Optimal Newborn Reading: 56





HEMOGLOBIN (HGB)


Normal Adult Female Range: 12 - 16 g/dl


Optimal Adult Female Reading: 14 g/dl


Normal Adult Male Range: 14 - 18 g/dl


Optimal Adult Male Reading: 16 g/dl


Normal Newborn Range: 14 - 20 g/dl


Optimal Newborn Reading: 17 g/dl











R.B.C. (Red Blood Cell Count)


Normal Adult Female Range: 3.9 - 5.2 mill/mcl


Optimal Adult Female Reading: 4.55


Normal Adult Male Range: 4.2 - 5.6 mill/mcl


Optimal Adult Male Reading: 4.9


Lower ranges are found in Children, newborns and infants








W.B.C. (White Blood Cell Count)


Normal Adult Range: 3.8 - 10.8 thous/mcl


Optimal Adult Reading: 7.3


Higher ranges are found in children, newborns and infants.








Prothrombin time (PT) is a blood test that measures the time it takes for the liquid portion (plasma) of your blood to clot.


The normal range is 11 to 14.2 seconds. However, "normal" varies from lab to lab.








The PT time will be longer in persons who take blood thinners


ST at 33, that's very high. or quite delayed coagulation time.





Increased PT times may be due to:





Bile duct obstruction


Cirrhosis


Disseminated intravascular coagulation


Hepatitis


Malabsorption


Vitamin K deficiency


Coumadin (warfarin) therapy


Factor VII deficiency


Factor X deficiency


Factor II (prothrombin) deficiency


Factor V deficiency


Factor I (fibrinogen) deficiency





I can't find PLCR. You must mean ESR( erythrocyte sedimentation rate )Measures settling rate of anticoagulated erythrocytes





Normal


Newborn: 0-2 mm/hour


Children: 3-13 mm/hour


Women


Range for ages 18 to 50 years: 1-20 mm/hour


Range for age over 50 years: 1-30 mm/hour


Normal Maximum: (Age in years + 10) / 2





Men


Range for ages 18 to 50 years: 1-15 mm/hour


Range for age over 50 years: 1-20 mm/hour


Normal Maximum: (Age in years)





Grades acute illness severity in Emergency Setting


299 Peds patients with Limp, Abdominal Pain, Fever


ESR %26gt;50 (n=101): 56% had significant illness


ESR 20-50 (n=109): 27% had significant illness


ESR %26lt;20 (n=89): 8% had significant illness





So,@ 63.3- that's unusually high.
