A modest dip can occur after distance running (footstrike mechanical hemolysis) or active red cell turnover.
What does a high result mean?
A slightly elevated number is very common during transient inflammation as part of the body's acute-phase response.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Does this align with my reticulocyte count and hemoglobin?
- Could recent running or vigorous workouts have influenced this level?
- Is a follow-up assessment suggested?
Do you have a full blood test report?
