Complete blood count results

[theblitzkrieg]

I've been on cycle doses of test for a while now. I was on tren and mast as well at some point but came off. Haven't donated blood or taken any blood thinners. To my surprise my hematocrit is in the lower range. I had it tested because of Austinite's thread. Some things are out of range though. Can anyone tell me if this is because of steroids?


I'll leave out the ones that were in range (except hematocrit):

hematocrit 42.5% (40.0-54.0)
leukocytes 13.6 (4.5-10.4)
MCV 82.2 (84.0-98.0)
MCH 27.5 (28.0-36)
PDW 9.4% (11.0-20.0)
neutrophil count 8.6 (1.5-6.7)
monocyte count 1.0 (0.2-0.8)
lymphocyte count 3.6 (1.3-3.6)

Have seasonal allergies by chance? I honestly don't remember what could cause a low PDW or MCH though.

I am a medical tecnologist, hematocrit is the volume of the rbc it can be calculated from your hemoglobin hgbx3 and can be afected for many reason but the importan value is the hemoglobin.Maybe you where over hydrated. Mcv mean copuscular volumen, and mch are calculations based on your rbc, hemoglobin and hematocrit, if you hematocrit is low those values are also low. Pdw is wrong writen is rdw and is the red blood cell distribution wide, only serves as a indicator of rbc morfology

Most likely. I used to take zyrtec everyday but stopped.

It wasn't a typo. It's PDW. RDW was normal - 14.6% (10.0-15.5). Hemoglobin was 142 (136-163)

That could explain the neutrophils/monocytes/etc. They are all infection response components in your blood, but are easily triggered by a cold/allergies/bacterial infection.
