[|Human|] My doctor just sent my blood test results and stated Your blood count is normal except for increased red blood cell size . When I researched what this meant, it stated that it was a sigh of alcohol use. However, since I had fasted 20 hours before the best and I seldom drink alcohol - probably not more than 5-7 bottles in a year. So is there another reason it would show this? Jana
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your red cell size is increased.  Don't worry.  Alcohol can increase the size but not in that small amount what you are taking. But there is other more common cause of increase red blood cells size.  It is It b12 deficiency or folic acid deficiency.  So you may have that. Don't worry just consult your physician and go for it b12 level if needed and then take treatment accordingly. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
