My Drs..took blood..In October last year I had normal blood counts..Great to be exact. But in December/January 2013 I took it again as I retired out fom the Air Force and lost weight working at a Big Box Store..Stressed too, making a big change..Non smoking, non drinker etc..Soda occassionally, but red blood cells were just slightly low..I had lost 10lbs working at the big box store. I was concerned with Cancer and the Dr. said...White blood cells and the entire cBC plus a Tcell test was normal. The MRI i had in October was normal..What does red blood cell low count mean. can it mean dehydration too? And how often should I have my blood work done.. I am 46
HiT hanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor In clinical practice we use hemoglobin level to assess adequate red blood cells. Low hemoglobin mean anemia. Therefor marginally low red blood cells are insignificant you can repeat complete hologram to have clear idea. Deny Chat Doctor.
