An abnormal blood test result indicates that certain components of the blood, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets, are outside the normal range. This can suggest various health issues, including infections, anemia, or clotting disorders. Doctors often use these tests to monitor overall health or diagnose specific conditions. Factors that can lead to abnormal results include medications, diet, exercise, and underlying medical conditions. Further testing may be required to determine the exact cause of the abnormality and to guide appropriate treatment options. Regular blood tests are essential for maintaining health and detecting potential problems early.
