I asked the doctor, but he said it was normal and nothing to worry about. I felt fobbed off. I just want to know what the initials stand for. thanks.

platelets = these are the ones responsible for formation of clots (just like when you have a wound and a scab forms..) from your result, that is normal..
mchc = mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration = the amount of hemoglobin (makes your blood red) stored by red blood cell.. it tells you how red your red blood cells are.. (useful in anemia)
mcv = mean corpuscular volume = how big your red blood cells are.. also useful in anemia
pcv = packed cell volume.. a measure of the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells
rbc = red blood cells
monocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophils are types of white blood cells which fight infection..
hope this helps..

Platelets are what cause your blood to clot. MHCH is mean cell haemoglobin content thats the oxygen carrying capacity of your blood,. MCV is mean cell volume, PCV is packed cell volume. RBC is red blood cell count. Monocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophils are all types of white blood cell. You can look the reference values up if you want, but they are all normal.
