I'm 24w and FTM. Yesterday at my prenatal appt. my OB briefly explained I have a small ovarian cyst during my 2nd ultrasound (20 weeks). She didn't seem concern. She explained it's common during pregnancy and it should go away after delivery. If not, then we will discuss more about it.
Labs: Lab results are meaningful only in the context of the person. High MCHC in a healthy person may simply be a problem with the calibration of the machine or reflect that reference ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either end. I'd ignore sed rate / ESR.
Test Results: What does a high MCHC test result mean? If your levels are high (above the 33% average) then thereâs a chance youâre suffering from macrocytic anemia. A deficiency in folic acid could lead to this. Also, liver disease, hereditary spherocytes and vitamin B12 deficiency are sometimes responsible for this type of result.
