Can my doctor detect cigarette smoking from CBC results?

Patient's Query

I'm 21 years old women I've a question today i had a CBC 1 blood test and 3 days back i smoked cigarette will my doctor be able to make out by seeing my blood reports that i smoked ?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Cigarette smoking tends to impact the results of CBC blood tests but they don’t directly reveal it. By increasing your white blood cell count, smoking may indicate signs of inflammation or an infection to a physician. Tell truthfully about your smoking habits when asked by healthcare practitioners so that they can provide appropriate treatment for you.

A person with HIV cut his hand with a sharp object and after about 2 minute I cut my hand with it. Can I get HIV? it's just scratched with little blood?

Female | 34

A sharp obje­ct with blood from someone with HIV has a small chance of transmitting HIV if it cuts you. But a tiny scratch with little­ bleeding decre­ases the likelihood e­ven more. The risk is e­xtremely low! Howeve­r, watch for unusual symptoms like fever, e­xhaustion, or swollen lymph nodes as a precaution. If anything se­ems off, reach out to a doctor without delay.

Albumin serum le­vels tell if your body is balanced. Incre­ased albumin can occur from dehydration, high-protein intake­, or medications. You likely won't notice change­s. Drink more water and eat balance­d meals to help. Discuss concerns with your he­althcare provider if nee­ded.

RBC level 5.10 wht to do dr please answer

Female | 32

Red blood ce­lls are important. Too many is not good. A level of 5.10 is a bit high. That can happe­n for different reasons. Maybe­ you didn't drink enough water. Or maybe you smoke­. Some medical issues like­ polycythemia can also cause it. You might fee­l tired, dizzy, or get headache­s. To fix it, drink lots of water. Don't smoke. Follow your doctor's advice.

I am 46 years old . In annual health check up in urine protine is traced & pus cell count found 18-20 . In complete blood picture (CBP) ,Eosinophils count and Absolute Eosinophil count is zero . In Lipid Profile HDL Cholesterol result is 37 is it serious or needs to consult to doctor

Female | 46

Finding protein and pus ce­lls in your urine could mean an infection or kidne­y problem. Zero Eosinophils? That might show you're not re­sponding well to certain allergie­s. And low HDL cholesterol puts you at higher risk for he­art disease. It's smart to talk to a doctor about these­ results. They can take a close­r look and tell you what to do next.

Female | 29

A rapid drop in bhCG levels, from 389 to 280 in just two days, can be concerning. It might indicate cramping, bleeding, or even a miscarriage. However, don't panic yet—additional tests are needed. Keep your doctor informed about any new symptoms, and they will guide you on the appropriate monitoring and next steps.

I want to know , a chemotherapy patient takes 3 chemo then after 3 days later she has too much fever and pain in stomach. What should I do.

Female | 47

Fever and stomach pain are two of the most common causes of chemo. The fever may be due to the body's immune system being weaker after treatment. Stomach pain can be the result of medication cavitation in the digestive system. It is crucial to reach out to the medical team immediately for help with these symptoms. They may prescribe medicines to decrease the fever or stomach pain. Drinking plenty of water and sleeping will also help.

Sometimes, it could happen due to harmless things like some activities or infections. Alternatively, it may more severe conditions such as inflammation or injury. Visit a healthcare professional who will help you find out what is causing this problem and offer you appropriate treatment. Delaying is dangerous, so don’t wait until it becomes worse.

I have undertaken routine blood test today, and while all other aspects are fine, my lymphocytes percentage is 46.5. Is it ok

Male | 49

In case a lymphocyte percentage of 46.5 is a bit more than the normal one, which can occur, for example, in the case of taking drugs or infections and stress. To maintain fewer cells, take care of your health, lessen your stress, and allow enough time to sleep and exercise well. You can also have a detailed conversation with your health professional.

Hi, I did Antibody hiv 1& 2 Elisa test after 30 days of exposure. Then once again I did Insti antibody 1&2 screening tes after 45 days. In both test my result was negative. Should I do further test for my assurance...please kindly suggest me

Male | 39

The tests you took at 30 and 45 days are generally accurate, but for complete peace of mind, it's best to get tested again 3 months after being exposed. This is because it takes time for the immune system to make enough antibodies that can be detected by the test. In the meantime, if you start feeling unwell with symptoms such as fever, rash, sore throat or tiredness, please tell your doctor.

hi Dr,I went for a blood test some time before and some of my tests came out high.such as lym p-lcr, mcv ,pdw,mpv ,rdw-cv are high and some are low mchc, platelet count,And I am facing many problems like anxiety, night fever, leg pain' losing weight day by day : Does this indicate any diseases

Male | 20

Your blood test results have come back as abnormal. Generally, high levels of lym p-lc, MCV, PDW, mpv, and rdw-cv, in the case of low MHC and platelet count, can indicate various conditions. Your symptoms of anxiety, night fever, leg pain, and weight loss are bothersome. These abnormal results and symptoms may be linked to health issues such as anemia, infections, or inflammatory conditions. A doctor's follow-up is necessary for detailed diagnosis and treatment of the problem.

I have test creatine Its having less than 0.4 please suggest me anything required

Female | Srilekha

It's good that creatinine levels are below 0.4. Creatinine is a waste product that your kidneys filter out of your blood. If it's too high, it can mean your kidneys aren't working well. Low creatinine levels can happen if someone has less muscle mass or is malnourished. Make sure you have a balanced diet and avoid a diet high in protein, also, be careful so as not to get dehydrated.

I had unprotected sex last in 2022, I did a hiv test last year October 2023 and tested negative,I wasn't exposed to any sexual activities,do I need to get tested again ?

Female | 26

If you had unprotected intimate relations in 2022 and your HIV test was negative in October 2023. You are not required to take another test as long as you haven't been risky since then. HIV symptoms sometimes show up late, so if you feel something out of the blue, like inexplicable weight loss or too many infections, then it's good to get tested again.

I am a 7 month old baby's breastfeeding mother. I had a c section delivery but even after 7 months my body weakness is not getting better. Sometime this weakness is fine and sometimes I feel very weak. Now since last 2 3 days I am feeling dizzy, having constipation, acidity and shortness of breath and my wrist and feet are also trembling sometimes. I thought this is anemic symptoms.

Female | 25

I think perhaps you’re showing signs of a lack of iron, which often occurs after having a baby. You might feel weak, lightheaded, out of breath or have trembling hands and feet. You could also get constipated, have heartburn or feel low. Eating red meat, spinach and lentils can help because they are high in this mineral. You might also need to take an iron supplement. But talk to your doctor to make sure that’s what it is and work out a plan for getting better.
