What is a low blood count?

A low blood count means that you have quantifier or white blood cells or fewer platelets in your body than normal.

A low blood count is diagnosed using a test called a full blood count, where your blood levels are compared with the population average. This is performed in a lab and involves considering many factors. “Normal” levels differ between men and women, and also across ages. Your blood count can also vary due to pregnancy, your intake of caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol, your diet, and even the time that you have a blood sample taken

"Blood count of 6" refers to a hemoglobin of 6. For females, the normal range of hemoglobing is 12-15 and this can vary slightly from one lab to another. For males, the normal range is 13.6-17.5 and again this can vary between the labs. A hemoglobin of 6 for either male or female is low. Hemoglobin levels are usually decreased in a variety of conditions including liver disease, vitamin B12 deficiency, anemia, acute or chronic blood loss, and thalassemia. Treatment is based on the cause.

Yes, from what I've read this is serious. If you are a woman and are having heavy menstrual periods, or are pregnan, then this may be the reason. Or you may developing Crohn's disese, having problems with your thyroid, anemia or suffering from malnutrition. In any event, your doctor will need to take further tests to see if anemia is causing the problem. Don't give up or worry; just take action--further tests--and then proceed from there...

What does erc stand for in blood work?

ERC stands for erythrocyte count (red blood cell count). It tells you the the number of RBCs that are present in blood. Low values are indicative of anemia. ERC is also closely related to hemoglobin (Hgb) and hematocrit (Hct) levels; if the ERC is low then Hbg and Hct will most likely be low. ERC is usually measured with the complete blood count test (CBC).Normal Values (expressed as SI units: RBC X 10^6/microL or RBC X 10^12/L)Male: 4.7-6.1Female: 4.2-5.4Pagana, K.D., & Timothy, J.

Is 6 million sperm count healthy?

Doctors say that sperm count should be at least 20 million, and that in and of itself is somewhat low. So therefore, a 6 million sperm count means you're well below the average, and deemed to have a low sperm count. It's a good idea to talk to your doctor and if you're trying to conceive, they can recommend different tests or treatments to increase your count. Otherwise, not that it's impossible, it would just be difficult trying to conceive.
