Question 1

in blood test.  neutrophils low. lymphs high  monocytes high .but only reading high on absolute was granulocytes and neutrophils. cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

How high?: Percentages mean nothing. If your absolute granulocyte count was slightly above the reference range without abnormal forms and you feel well, it means nothing; this fluctuates and a cold shower can double it.

Question 2

a blood test showed that i have high red and white cells and low lymph high neut. could this be a sign of leukemia?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: This would be most suggestive of polycythemia vera and at age 22 this isn't a consideration. You may simply be athletic. Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside. If you feel well, and your physician didn't make a big deal of it, stop worrying.

Question 3

my three year old daughter has lymph nods in both sides of her neck since she is 4 months her blood test came normal except ldh slitlly high?

Accepted Answer

Neck nodes common: Lymph nodes are basically little factories where tissue fluid is filtered and lymphocytes that fight infection are produced.  Young childen are exposed to multiple viruses and bacteria through the mouth beginning in infancy, and lymph nodes enlarge to compensate, especially the chain of nodes along the muscle that runs from the ear to the collarbone.  You good test results are reassuring as well.

Question 4

hi my 3 years old daughter has lymph nods both sides of her neck for more than2 years , her blood test came normal but the ldh slitlly high, so worry?

Accepted Answer

Watch and wait: If the nodes have remained stable for two years, you may watch and wait. You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the the lymph glands doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or she develop fever, or loses weight, she should see her doctor.
Wish you and your daughter good health!

Question 5

blood test sgot/alt 40 abnormal high, lymph 1.1, abnormal low, w/all mediastinal & bilateral hilar nodes enlarged + virchows node.  what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Until proved not...: ... Our principal concern is cancer. I would draw no conclusions from the lymphocyte count, the SGOT / alt being somewhat high is merely suggestive, but the big nodes are going to require biopsy. Maybe it's a medication reaction, sarcoidosis, or any of a host of other possibilities. But we want to get at the truth. Good luck.

Question 6

my 26 yr old had enlarged groin lymph node for 5 . weeks . she had a blood test that was fine except for epstein bar ab . she had mono 5 years ago . her agg was high but also her igm was 58 , and she had no recent infection. should we be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: Enlarged lymph nodes indicate that there is some kind of infection in the immediate area. Since her enlarged lymph node was in the groin region, it could indicate any kind of vaginal/pelvic infection including STD's. She should have a Pap smear and culture to make sure there is no infection causing this that can be treated. Some STD's show no symptoms.

Question 7

could a lymph node behind ear be cancerous have no infection feeling fine had a blood test and i have high prolactin if i ha cancer would it come up?

Accepted Answer

Could be dermatitis: First of all, how do you know this is a lymph node rather than a fibroma, lipoma, sebaceous cyst, other type of cyst?  If the mass is directly behind the ear on the mastoid process and it is a lymph node, it could represent an inflammatory reaction to dermatitis of the scalp.  An isolated mass behind the ear is rarely malignant.

Question 8

i have had swollen lymph nodes for 6 weeks now.. blood test can back wbc high rbc low. ct didn't show anything.. cervical lymph nodes 1.3 and 1.8cm.. ?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Cervical lymph nodes can enlarge after an infection, but usually u have fever, pain, &amp; misery that goes along with an infection. Infection can cause high WBC and low RBC; however, other worrisome causes exist. Some infx last 6 wks, but usually they resolve in that time. More blood tests may b needed, but ultimately u need tissue (biopsy or excision) to make a diagnosis. TTYD or surgeon about it.

Question 9

what is lymph percent auto on a blood test?

Accepted Answer

Differential Count: The test results should indicate the reference values for the percentage of lymphocytes for that particular laboratory in their automated differential count. If there is any question, the clinical pathologist can be requested to review the glass slide smear and verify or rectify the count.

Question 10

low lymph score on a blood test. what does this signify?

Accepted Answer

Possibly nothing: It depends on how low. Lymphs are one of the types of cells that fight infection but in isolated general questions like this without numbers it is very hard to answer and usually a slightly low lymph count is meaningless. In your case if concerned asked your provider that ordered your test.
