Atypical cells: Not impressed but the atypical lymphs are reason enough to to want to repeat the entire  test in a month or two .

Question 4

More info needed: This question could only be reasonably answered with all available data. Please consult your treating physician.

Question 5

my 17 yearold has wbc 2.5, low segs, high lymph, low mvc, low mch. normal rbc and hemo and hcrt. been referred to hemo/onc specialist. why?

Accepted Answer

Just to be sure: These counts are low..So they want to be sure she is making normal amount of blood cells. It is probably due to a virus infection which will resolve in a few days. I would simply repeat the count once more and see if it has returned to normal. If it goes down any further then i would be concerned and make sure she does not have any problem with blood formation.

Question 6

history of loose stools & ruq pain. blood results show .68 abs lymph-low, 5.51 crp-high, 33.1 mch-high, 3.1 wbc-low. all other tests normal. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

See details: The lab is not impressive except for the elevated CRP. With the history of diarrhea see a gastroenterologist. There are several possibilities including IBD.

Question 7

high wbc, high neut, low lymph, low k, high glucose, lowrbc, low creatine, high amylase, high ast, urine w/ protein & ketones. treatment?

Accepted Answer

Based on the: above lab results, and without any clinical knowledge of patient symptoms and course of disease, I would have to say it's impossible to devise a plan of treatment.  Please visit your healthcare provider or begin a Virtual Consult with one of our physicians to discuss diagnostic and treatment options.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 8

what does it mean when the lymph% is low on a cbc test?

Accepted Answer

How low?: The total count and proportion of lymphocytes needs to be looked at. All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that. See this site for more info.

Question 9

what does it mean on my blood test lymph 8 low. is that 8percent or .8 ? & why would mine be low

Accepted Answer

It is 8: You have to discuss with the doctor who ordered the test as we can not comment on only one value in cbc.We need to know why the test was ordered, what your symptoms are and what the other values are. Lymphocytes of 8 are low.
Causes of low lymphocytes are either body not making not enough lymphocytes or they get destroyed.Common causes are
1infections
2autoimmune disorders
3steroid therapy
4others.

Question 10

high lymph count low eos count?

Accepted Answer

Need some: Hard numbers. A high lymph percentage may not mean anything depending on the total white blood count.  Not uncommon to see no eos on a 100 cell differential.
