Need help interpreting some bloodwork numbers?!
Question: I am 28 weeks pregnant.
I've been @ my OB twice a week for the past couple of weeks getting bloodwork & the 24 hr urine collection due to high BP & protein in my urine... My bloodwork has come back, mostly great, but some of the levels are off, and I just needed to know what these mean:
Glucose, Serum: 107 (Normal = 65-99)
WBC: 13.5 (Normal = 4-10)
Neutrophils: 80 (Normal = 40-70)
Neutrophils, Absolute: 11 (Normal = 1.8-7.8)
The only thing the doctor has told me was that my bloodwork came back anemic, so they gave me an iron supplement. I just got these results back online and no one has called me about
them, so I figured I'd try to figure it out myself :)
Everything else was normal. The things I listed were the only abnormal levels, I just don't know what they are or what it means.
Thank you for your help :)

Your glucose is the sugar level in your blood. You really need to watch what you eat for the rest of the pregnancy. 107 is a little high but no enough to do much about it. Just walk more if you can and drink lots of water, you don't want g-diabetes.
WBC stands for White Blood Cell. Neutrophils are white blood cell. Usually when this count is up it means that you have an infection some where. An 80 is not that bad and your doctor probably is not worried about it. Good luck on your new addition.
Your Glucose level is going to be your level of sugars in your bloodstream.
WBC is your white blood cell count.
As far as neutrophils and Neutrophils absolute I can not give you an answer because I am not sure what that is referring to.
I hope that helps a little though :)
