Today I finished my second day back at rehab. I kept the heart rate below 110 and did not have any major issues. During the one hour workout I had a few PVC's (one extra beat), but no bigeminy or runs of PVC's! That is good! Next week I will try to be in the 100-115 heart rate range.
Yesterday I posted my Lipid Panel from my blood test. Today I will post the CBC. I am not very familiar with these numbers. The Lipid Panel, with the focus on cholesterol, is something that I have been aware of for the past few years. The CBC tests are something new!
A great web site to explain the CBC Testing is at Medicine Net.com
Another site I found at Lab Tests Online.
This web site will tell you what each test is and what the abbreviations mean.
As I did yesterday, the RED numbers will be my numbers and the GREEN will be the suggested range.
Test(What it is) - My Results - Suggested Range
WBC(White blood cell count) - 8.2 - (4.6-10.2 KuL)
RBCRed blood cell count) - 4.77 - (4.60-6.10 M/uL)
HGB(Hemoglobin) - 14.4 - (14.0-18.1 g/dL)
HCT(Hematocrit) - 43.0 - (42.0 - 53.7%)
MCV(Mean Corpuscular Volume) - 90 - (80-97 fl)
MCH(Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin) - 30.2 - (27.0-32.5 mmg)
MCHC(Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration) - 33.4 - (31.8-35.4 g/dL)
RDW(Red Cell distribution width) - 13.5 - (9.0-15.0%)
PLT(Platelet Count) - 297 - (140-440 K/uL)
GRAN%(Granulocytes) - 82 - (37-80%) H
GRAN#(Granulocytes) - 6.7 - (2.0-6.9 K/uL)
LYMPH%(Lymphocytes) - 14 - (10-50%)
LYMPH#(Lymphocytes) - 1.1 - (0.6-3.4 K/uL)
MONO% - 4 - (2-10%)
MONO# - 0.3 - (0.1-0.6 K/uL)
The only one that I saw was elevated was the GRAN% test, that was out of the range. In my research I found:
An elevated level of granulocytes is indicative of an underlying bacterial infection.
Need to ask the doctor about this one!
