ANSWER: Hello Donabel:
Basophil and atypical lymphocytes are type of white blood cells seen in the blood. Both are within normal range.
The RBC morphology deals with the appearance - shape and size of the red blood cells. These too are normal (normocytic - normal size and shape and normochromic - with adequate hemoglobin)
There is nothing to cause undue concern in these results.

QUESTION: Hello Dr, this is totally different lab result this time. I hope you could help me understand it.
This is my 59YO Father's Lab Result
FBS: 6.40 H
Serum Creatinin: 314.00 H
Direct HDL: 0.40 L
We are particularly concerned about the Serum Creatinin result, is this something that we need to worry about?
Thank you!
Answer Hello Donabel:
Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine, which is an important part of muscle.
Increased levels indicate that there is some form of disease of the kidney.
Your father should be evaluated by a doctor preferably a nephrologist.
