Red Blood Count (HB) = 14[151] (Normal 130-180)
Platelet = 205[256] (Normal 150-450)
White Blood Count (WBC) = 7.3[9.2] (Normal 4 - 11)
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) = 2.263[4.876] (Normal 1.5 - 8.0)
ALT = 51[66] (Normal 30 – 65)
AST = 33[37] (Normal 15-37)
GGT = 52[68] (Normal 15-85)
I am fine today.
Both blood count and liver function test results are well within the normal range. Dr. Gan said that there is no need to monitor the liver function test so closely from next follow-up onwards. So she didn’t order the liver function test for the next follow-up. This indicates that she is confident that there will be no issue on the liver since the enzyme levels have been stable for a long time :-)
I also informed Dr. Gan that I was discharged from the lung (asthma) clinic because the lung specialist thought that my lung is well. However, both she and I think otherwise. She said that she will refer me back to the lung clinic if necessary in future.
I will have to take steroid again if my lung condition worsens. I didn’t feel that it is worsening; the problem of shortness of breath and chest restriction remains status quo for quite some time. We will see the result of next respiratory function test before deciding next course of action.
Dr. Gan also prescribed me Ventolin Evohaler, a type of inhaler that is used to relieve asthma symptom. Hopefully, with this inhaler, I can breath more smoothly when doing more vigorous work such climbing staircase.
“Hospital is not a good place,” doctor commented in view of the widespread of A (H1N1). And she arranged my next follow-up 8 weeks later.
See you next post :-)
