Question 1

i have 4.1 abs lymphocyte count and mpv of 8.9. platelets were 360. wbc were 7?

Accepted Answer

Blood count : Could still be within normal range. Comparison with previous and future blood counts will be of help. History, physical exam findings and other bloodwork could give clues to what is truly happening.

Question 2

appendiceal carcinoma 2010, new blood work came back wht blood cell - 4.1 and abs. lymphocyte count 791, does this require an appt?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You need follow up care additional investigation like colonoscopy , CT scan , additional good tests including CEA levels

Question 3

my lymphocyte abs count in november was flagged high at 4. now it is flagged high at 3.7 still. all other bloodwork is completely normal besides lymphocyte count. do i have cancer?

Accepted Answer

Depends on details: Blood counts are done for a reason. Sometimes there are ill symptoms, other times the test is routine screening for a check-up. Without the reason for the test, lab results may or may not have much meaning. In this case, the results don't have much meaning without a doctor knowing the whole story about the patient.

Question 4

my lymphocyte abs count was high at 4 in nov. and now its high at 3.7. i dont feel sick or have an infection i know of. all other values are completely normal. do i have cancer??

Accepted Answer

Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the data you provided does not add up. You may visit this site for info: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003657.htm
Wish you good health!

Question 5

what could the reason be for a high abs neutrophils 9.2 & low abs lymphocytes 0.3 blood count? cbc was flagged & wondering, i go to dr in few days.

Accepted Answer

Prob nothing serious: The most common causes are infection or medication side effects.  Please discuss it with your doctor at your visit.  Take care.

Question 6

29 y/o f, normal cbc except slightly high mchc 34.90 (31.50-34.50g/dl) & lymphocytes 4394 (abs. count); total wbc: 8,450. should i worry? no symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Normal as written: These counts appear normal without having the benefit of the rest of the white cell distribution and the hemoglobin and hematocrit and platelet counts.  I am curious as to why you had the blood test in the first place--was it routine screening or did you have a medical reason for getting the test.
Best wishes.

Question 7

why is my lymphocyte count always so low?

Accepted Answer

Reference ranges: The reference range for any lab value usually should include 95% of normal people. So, you could be in the 5% that are outside the range. Alternatively you could have one of several selective deficiencies in lymphocyte subclasses. If you're otherwise healthy though, they are unlikely.

Question 8

what does a lymphocyte count of 0.7 indicate?

Accepted Answer

Low lymphocytes: A low lymphocyte count is also called lymphopenia. A count of 0.7 says that you only have 700 lymphocytes present on the blood test (which is to few). Lymphopenia can be caused by many things including HIV infection. I would suggest speaking with your physician and getting a referral if appropriate to a hematologist for further evaluation and have a repeat CBC performed and consider HIV testing.

Question 9

my lymphocyte count is 0.91. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing by itself: If you feel well and there are no bizarre cells, this is just something to follow. This is ever-so-slightly below most reference ranges, and these ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either end. Get another CBC next year.

Question 10

my lymphocyte count is 49.8. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: Suspect the number you mentioned is the percentage of lymphocytes, not the actual number.The absolute number is always to be considered since it represents the actual number of lymphocytes. The ratio is calculated by dividing absolute number of specific subsets of white blood cells or leukocytes to the total number of leukocytes and it can be deceiving.
