[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 490708, member: 84"] Hmmm what is the surgery for? And those are not good results. But the numbers would tell more than the just Low or High part, and numbers vary nowdays from lab to lab......which is why they now print Low or High next to the numbers. But I wouldn't freak out over them either. Looks like you've got some anemia going on. Easily corrected with an Iron supplement. Not sure why your calcium level would be low, especially if you're taking a supplement. Honestly though, you might want to start taking that iron before surgery as you could have some bleeding issues (which is one of the reasons for these pre-screens of blood work) doctor should write you a script as it will work better than OTC. I don't believe the high monos are just indicative of having "mono" itself. Those white cells elevate for other reasons too, not just for that specific thing. Not seeing anything horrible though. But I personally would put off surgery with both the hematocrit and hemoglobin low...........hemoglobin transports the O2 around the body, hematocrit is what causes blood to clot. I'd talk to doctor about the levels. I can give you "norms" but now days those can vary widely from lab to lab. [/QUOTE]
