[|Human|] I am a healthy 52 yr old female.  I exercise, eat right and I am not overweight.  I recently had a blood test and my red blood cell count was 3.69 L.  The range indicates that it should be from 3.80-5.10.  The protein and globulin were also low.  Should I be concerned with this?
[|AI|]  Hello welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your question and understand your concerns. Low RBC count is not a major problem. So don't worry. Actually you should provide whole CBC report, so that I can understand the whole problem. Low protein and RBC usually indicates nutritional problem. Anyway my advice to you is - 1. Low RBC count usually indicates iron or vitamin B deficiency. Go for S. Ferritin levels and S. Iron levels to detect that. Hemoglobin level less than 13 also indicates anemia. 2. Check your urine protein levels, kidney and liver profile also to find out cause of low proteins. But mostly it is nutritional. 3. There are many multivitamin preparations available that will increase your RBC count within 3-4 months. But written prescription is necessary for treatment. So ask your doctor regarding that. 4. Eat high protein diet, green leafy vegetables and fruits. Eat Jagger, spinach to improve iron and proteins. Thank you. Have a nice day.
