Hello Doctor 

 

I've been experiencing abnormal light chain results, elevated platelets, red and white blood cells, along with fever, sweating, and fatigue. Should I be concerned?

 

 

Hello 

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

1. Possible Reasons:

 

Hematological Abnormalities: Elevated platelets, red and white blood cells, and abnormal light chain results may indicate underlying hematological disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloproliferative disorders.

Systemic Symptoms: Fever, sweating, and fatigue are nonspecific symptoms that can accompany various health conditions, including infections, inflammatory disorders, or malignancies.

 

2. Recommendations:

 

Further Evaluation: Given the combination of abnormal blood results and systemic symptoms, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and diagnostic testing.

Medical History: Provide details about the duration of symptoms and any associated complaints like headaches, vision changes, difficulty breathing, or abdominal pain. These can help guide the diagnostic process.

Lab Results Review: Share your lab results with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment and interpretation.

 

Thanks
