Question 1

history of hnscc, rec'd radiation. abs lymph is low 700 (850-3900 cells/ul), but abs neut is normal 3891 (1500-7800 cells/ul). should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No, not really: If you feel well and are otherwise healthy, then this lymphocyte count is probably ok. It will fluctuate with time. So you need to be patient and keep an eye on it over the next 1-2 years. As long as it doe snot drop to less than 600, i would not be too concerned about it.

Question 2

my wbc count is 24.51 abs neut 19.7 and % band is 14 what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

: 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. You have not provided sufficient information to provide a meaningful opinion,   Wish you good health!

Question 3

is low wbc common 16 days after ivig? wbc 2.7; abs neut .62; %'s seg23; lymph60; eosin7. history - wbc 3.5; abs neut 2.6; %'s seg74; lymph15; eosin 0

Accepted Answer

Not typically: What is the clinical context? Is the ivig being given for hypogammaglobulinemia, or is there something else going on?

Question 4

my abs neut ct was 3.42 in august of 2015..it was 1.29 in dec and my neutrophils is 30.0 and my lymphocytes is 60.0. should i b worried?

Accepted Answer

No: These fluctuate hour by hour, wildly. If all the cells are well formed and the absolute counts near the reference range, stop worrying.

Question 5

i'm 53 yo male. blood test for annual physical. results came with 1 issue
neutrophils 39.3%
lymphocyts 46.4%
abs#neut 2.0
abs#lymph 2.3
should i worry ? doc said to retake in 2-3 weeks. said maybe due to cold (i had a bad one 2 weeks before test)

Accepted Answer

Follow advice: 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, your doctor's advice is correct and you should follow it.

Question 6

what does these high and low counts mean? high: 
protime (12.2), 
d dimer quantitative (.96)
neutrophils (90), 
abs neut (9.8) 
and low:
rbc (3.56)
hemoglobin (10.6)
hematocrit (32.7)
lymph (7)
absolute lymph (.8)
absolute eos (0.0)

all my other results

Accepted Answer

The : The laboratories that are off are just a tiny bit off, the only ones that are significant are the hemoglobin and hematocrit, as these labs show anemia.  Anemia can be caused by iron deficiency, and other causes of low blood count.  Ask your doctor of recommendations for your anemia.

Question 7

do i have leukemia with blood test results of wbc 14.6, neutrophil 81, lymphocytes 11.7 abs neut. 11.8 eosin 0.5?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: You need a complete history a physical  to make a diagnosis -- lab results alone are not sufficient for nay real diagnosis.

Question 8

what does it mean to have hives with high neutrophils low lymphosites high abs neut low abs lymph high wbc high alt and ast?

Accepted Answer

Possible hepatitis: There are many causes of hives.  Allergic reactions are the most common.  Persistent hives might be from a medication, or an environmental allergen, for example.  Infections can cause hives.  The abnormal alt and ast can be a sign of viral hepatitis. Sometimes hepatitis will cause hives, especially in the early phase, before jaundice sets in.  Chronic hives (more than 6 weeks) is more complex.

Question 9

i havent felt well for few months: s.o.b, fatigue, loss appetite, pain and more. labs: b12 was 1371 now 1491, high eos, low wbc, high atyp lymp, abnormal rbc morph, low abs neut, low abs lymph, poikilocytosis +1, burr cells 1+. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal labs: Need to talk to you and examine you to see what is going on but cannot here. Discuss with your team after you have gone to uptodate.com and read more.

Question 10

hi there, in my cbc my wbc is normal but my abs neuts# is high and my abs lymph# is low. does this mean i have cancer? i often get stuffy noses

Accepted Answer

No: 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, it would have helped if you provided actual numbers, however, it is highly unlikely that the findings are suggestive of cancer.
