What does an

When deviations occur, this is referred to as an \u201cabnormal blood count\u201d. This can have completely harmless causes, but it may also be an early indication of a condition that requires treatment. I always take such changes seriously \u2014 while at the same time knowing that they often cause unnecessary anxiety for patients. In many cases, a targeted evaluation is sufficient, and it becomes clear that there is no immediate danger. What matters most is a precise assessment by an experienced specialist.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Which changes are common?<\/p><\/h2><\/div>
In my work, I most frequently encounter the following findings:<\/p>\n<\/div>
\n- Too many or too few white blood cells (leukocytes)<\/li>\n
- A decrease in red blood cells (erythrocytes) or haemoglobin \u2014 indicating anaemia<\/li>\n
- An increased or decreased number of platelets (thrombocytes)<\/li>\n
- Changes in the differential blood count \u2014 such as a so-called left shift<\/li>\n
- Abnormal coagulation parameters or immunoglobulin levels<\/li>\n
- Disturbances in iron metabolism or an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
I never consider these values in isolation, but always in the context of your medical history, your symptoms, and their development over time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

How is the assessment carried out?<\/p><\/h2><\/div>
First, I have a detailed consultation with you, during which I take into account your symptoms, family history, previous illnesses, and life circumstances. I then review any existing medical reports \u2014 often, an initial pattern already emerges from these findings.<\/p>\n
In addition, I arrange specific haematological laboratory tests, which are carried out in highly specialised laboratories. This allows me to rule out sources of error and obtain precise results. Depending on the clinical question, I may also involve imaging procedures (e.g. to assess the spleen or lymph nodes).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

I discuss all results with you in detail. Together, we decide whether treatment is necessary, whether careful observation is sufficient, or whether further investigations should follow. You will receive a clear, structured plan tailored to your individual situation.<\/p>\n
I know that abnormal blood results often cause anxiety \u2014 which is why it is particularly important to me to respond promptly, provide clarity, and always leave room for your questions and concerns.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
