Question 1

i recently had blood work done. my mono level came back as high 11.7%  and eos came back as high also 8.1%. another part of my blood work  came back a?

Accepted Answer

All work in a contex: Everything has to be interpreted in a context. Most people get mono as child or young adult. The + tests may just indicate that you had been infected years ago. There are tests which distinguish long term from short lasting antibodies. As to the elevated eosinophils, they are usually elevated when the person has allergies.

Question 2

what does high mono on blood test mean?

Accepted Answer

Mononucleosis: An infection where neck gland become enlarged, fever, weakness and is easily treated.

Question 3

what does mono % and monos abs represent on a blood test and what does it mean if they are high?

Accepted Answer

Infection status: A mono spot test may indicate a present acute infection, the presence of antibodies in your blood may indicate you had mononucleosis in the past. If the clinical picture of mono is present, best to have the test repeated a short time later.

Question 4

for how long after i have mono will my blood count of monocytes be elevated?

Accepted Answer

It's not: Monocytes are not elevated in mononucleosis. The cells in the blood that indicate mono are atypical lymphocytes, and they usually disappear within a few weeks.

Question 5

blood test result shows a low 38 % in the granulocyte and a high 20 in the mono category. is there a reason for concern? should i retake bloods?

Accepted Answer

Nope: Percentages not as important as the absolute numbers.  38% for gran and 20% mono not exciting at all.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Reference ranges: Hi
Here is some additional info for you on CBCs and differentials. http://bit.ly/2q7KbIH - Generally speaking borderline high results are no cause for alarm, although it depends on the clinical context, or in other words, why the test was ordered. Would be best to discuss with your doctor, but we can certainly help you look through the numbers in detail as well. Hope this helps

Question 7

blood results came back borderline high: lymph man, abs mono, eos man.. what does it mean? can someone explain the results? read it could be leukemia

Accepted Answer

Borderline labs: Borderline means not high so not abnormal. Discuss with the Dr. who ordered it as will know how to interpret for you.

Question 8

if you have mono would your white blood cell count be high?

Accepted Answer

Mono: Typically yes. This is epstein bar virus infection. There are other symptoms like lymph node swelling, fatigue, spleen enlargement etc. See your doctor.

Question 9

i had a blood test i see mono% 9.5 high, eos% 9.3 high, mchc 32.3 low,  rdw 11.4  low . what should i do. should i worry. thanks.

Accepted Answer

Stop worrying: As a pathologist / lab physician, i often wish we didn't even have to report percentages -- they mean nothing apart from absolute values, and even these fluctuate chaotically / meaninglessly. Reference ranges are set so that several % of healthies fall outside; low RDW never means anything and the MCHC looks fine to me. Go enjoy your healthy body ; pay attention to how you feel, not numbers.

Question 10

test cbc readings some red blood cell are low and mono is high, anemia or not, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Insufficient info: It would help to have the actual value and why the tests were done? 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.
