Question

Tested high on my cbc on all the bellow things
White Blood Count=High
(Abs: Neut, Eosin, & Baso)All were high
Then it follows with=
Rbc morph = Polychromasia 1+, Anisocytosis 1+
Giant platelets present
Rheumatoid factor=Neg
ANA screen=Normal
DNA (ds)=Neg
JO1 antibody=Neg
CRP=1.4 mg/dl

My doctor wants me to have a bone marrow test done soon i'm scared and wondering what in this results would make me need one?
Do i really have to do it i heard it is painful & i'm really scared?
Please help...
Thanks!

Q- How high is your WBC count
22.
Do you have your results for your CBC differential to see if they saw any immature white cells in your blood?
I don't know

if you are above age of 40you may have "Polycythemia."
I'm not 40 yet i'm still young.

Have you had a recent blood loss?
No

Answer 1

The blood differential test measures the relative numbers of white blood cells (WBCs) in the blood. It also includes information about abnormal cell structure and the presence of immature cells.The differential count can be used to help detect infection, anemia, and leukemia or to follow the progress of treatment.

There are various types of WBCs (also called leukocytes) that normally appear in the blood. The differential determines the relative percentages of the different types of cells in the blood, notes any abnormal appearance of the cells, and the presence of any abnormal immature cells.
Any infection or acute stress results in increased production of WBCs. This usually entails an increased numbers of cells and an increase in the percent of immature cells (mainly band cells) in the blood. High WBC counts may indicate the presence of an inflammatory and immune response, or it may result from other conditions such as leukemia.

It is important to realize that an abnormal increase in one type of leukocyte can produce an apparent decrease in the percentage of other types.An increased percentage of lymphocytes (lymphocytosis) may indicate:
Chronic bacterial infection
Infectious hepatitis
Infectious mononucleosis
Lymphocytic leukemia
Multiple myeloma
Viral infection (such as infectious mononucleosis, mumps, measles)
Recovery from a bacterial infection

A complete blood count (CBC) test measures the following:

The number of red blood cells (RBCs)
The number of white blood cells (WBCs)
The total amount of hemoglobin in the blood
The fraction of the blood composed of red blood cells (hematocrit)
The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) -- the size of the red blood cells
CBC also includes information about the red blood cells that is calculated from the other measurements:

MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin)
MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration)
The platelet count is also usually included in the CBC.

Normal Values

RBC (varies with altitude):
Male: 4.7 to 6.1 million cells/mcL
Female: 4.2 to 5.4 million cells/mcL
WBC: 4,500 to 10,000 cells/mcL
Hematocrit (varies with altitude):
Male: 40.7 to 50.3 %
Female: 36.1 to 44.3 %
Hemoglobin (varies with altitude):
Male: 13.8 to 17.2 gm/dL
Female: 12.1 to 15.1 gm/dL
MCV: 80 to 95 femtoliter
MCH: 27 to 31 pg/cell
MCHC: 32 to 36 gm/dL
(cells/mcL = cells per microliter; gm/dL = grams per deciliter; pg/cell = picograms per cell)

What abnormal results mean Return to top

High numbers of RBCs may indicate:

Low oxygen tension in the blood
Congenital heart disease
Cor pulmonale
Pulmonary fibrosis
Polycythemia vera
Dehydration (such as from severe diarrhea)
Renal (kidney) disease with high erythropoietin production
Low numbers of RBCs may indicate:

Blood loss
Anemia (various types)
Hemorrhage
Bone marrow failure (for example, from radiation, toxin, fibrosis, tumor)
Erythropoietin deficiency (secondary to renal disease)
Hemolysis (RBC destruction)
Leukemia
Multiple myeloma
Malnutrition (nutritional deficiencies of iron, folate, vitamin B12, or vitamin B6)
Low numbers of WBCs (leukopenia) may indicate:

Bone marrow failure (for example, due to infection, tumor or fibrosis)
Presence of cytotoxic substance
Autoimmune/collagen-vascular diseases (such as lupus erythematosus)
Disease of the liver or spleen
Radiation exposure
High numbers of WBCs (leukocytosis) may indicate:

Infectious diseases
Inflammatory disease (such as rheumatoid arthritis or allergy)
Leukemia
Severe emotional or physical stress
Tissue damage (SUCH AS burns)
Low hematocrit may indicate:

Anemia (various types)
Blood loss (hemorrhage)
Bone marrow failure (for example, due to radiation, toxin, fibrosis, tumor)
Hemolysis (RBC destruction) related to transfusion reaction
Leukemia
Malnutrition or specific nutritional deficiency
Multiple myeloma
Rheumatoid arthritis
High hematocrit may indicate:

Dehydration
Burns
Diarrhea
Polycythemia vera
Low oxygen tension (smoking, congenital heart disease, living at high altitudes)
Low hemoglobin values may indicate:

Anemia (various types)
Blood loss
The test may be performed under many different conditions and in the assessment of many different diseases....all your tests results show that you might have leukemia and i said might.

Answer 3

Blood cells originate in the bone marrow.
High WBC usually indicates an infection.
Anisocytosis is variation in the size of red blood cells (an indication of anemia)
elevated neutrophyls indicate an acute infection (neut)
Elevaten eosinophils may be due to parasitic diseases, bronchial asthma or hay fever. Eosinopenia may occur when the body is severely stressed. (eosin)
If the count showed an abnormally high number of basophils, hemolytic anemia or chicken pox may be the cause. (baso)
CRP is a marker of infection and inflammation.
Discuss the results with ur dr, it is ur right to fully understand why he wants to order certain tests, and if u do not understand or it is not explained to u, u should make someone explain before u have the procedure preformed.

Answer 4

Occasional giant platelets are not unusual. Something has stimulated your bone marrow to produce a wide variety of cells. All of your granulocytes (N,Eos. Baso) could indicate an infection or a reactive picture, as could the polychromasia. Have you had a recent blood loss? That could also explain the changes.
Having a bone marrow aspiration is a serious step. It would be used to exclude more serious illnesses such as leukaemia. Get back to you Dr for a more detailed explanation,. It is your right to know. They have to justify the decision for a bone marrow aspiration.

Answer 5

As a hematologist, I do not rush to a bone marrow the first thing unless there is a suspicion of a malignancy. You need a complete medical workup first. Your bone marrow is working hard putting out cells for some reason. What is the reticulocyte count? Occult blood loss an option?

Answer 6

Polychromasia 1

Answer 7

If your white blood count is high, it could be that they suspect an infection of some sort (white blood cells go to the site of infection, so if your body is making a boatload of them, it's probably for a reason) they will want to check your marrow. It can be painful, but it doesn't have to be...I had my marrow done in the back of my pelvis (my lower back) under general anesthesia, and I didn't feel a thing. My sister used to have to get hers done on her collarbone and they didn't put her out for it, and she said it was painful. Just ask to be put under, and you won't feel a thing. Good luck!

Answer 8

How high is your WBC count (normal range is 4-10 x10^3/microliter)? Do you have your results for your CBC differential to see if they saw any immature white cells in your blood?

Answer 9

you have increased white cells, red cells & platelets (giant platelets point to overproduction by bone marrow, RBC & WBC are produced by bone marrow too)
if you are above age of 40you may have "Polycythemia."
Bone marrow biopsy is a good idea & you must consult with a hematologist.
I wish you good health.

Answer 10

I have a cousin who does this regularly with his cousin also his wife, they have several babbys, they tell me if the babbys are aired out regularly there is very little damage. He also says his pregnate wife helps all the time and only once in a while passes out.

Answer 11

Yes, you need to have it. Ask for a tranquiler before hand. Good luck!
