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.
If your doctor suspects that you have a low MCHC, they may order several blood tests, including: a blood test that will examine your MCHC levels; a mean corpuscular volume (MCV) test, which measures the average volume of your red blood cells; These tests may be included in a complete blood count (CBC). A CBC measures whether you have normal ranges of red and white blood cells. Through the results of the tests they order, your doctor should be able to determine exactly what type of anemia you have, making it easier to find the underlying cause.
