Q: i'm 18 wks pregnant with an absolute lymphocyte count <600. is this normal for pregnancy? will alc continue dropping through 28th week?

That is low: The absolute lymphocyte count should range 700-4600 nonpregnant, 1100-3600 1st trimester, 900-3900 2nd trimester, and 1000-3600 3rd trimester. Because your level is low, you should first repeat it. If still present, your physician, or a hematologist, can elect to look for possible causes such as infection, autoimmune disorders like lupus, medications, etc. Hope that helps.

Q: can pregnancy cause low neutrophils and high lymphocytes?

Not the usual : Pattern. Pregnancy is normally associated with higher neutrophil counts.

Q: are high neutrophils 72% and low lymphocytes 17% normal in pregnancy?

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, it would have been helpful to have your total WBC count. However, the percentages you gave are, per se, not a cause for concern. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!

Q: high neutrophil (90) and low lymphocytes during my 7 month of pregnancy what does it mean? do i need to worry?

Do not worry: Normal pregnancy is associated with a rise in the percentage of neutrophils (and thus a decreased percentage of lymphocytes). Since your neutrophilia has been present throughout your pregnancy it is most likely physiologic. One must wonder about an infectious cause and if you have been having fever or signs of a urinary tract infection, please see your obstetrician. If not, relax.

Q: i am 26 weeks pregnant and my absolute lymphocyte count is 737, i have a cold, could this cause it to be low like this?

Probably something: more than cold is going on to be sure if that low have the test repeated . If it is still low then see your doctor to look for possible causes such as infection, autoimmune disorders like lupus, medications, etc. Hope this helps.

Q: am 31 wk pregnant.my hb count is11gm/dl.hematocrit is 34%.red cell distribution width is16%.wbc is13.7*10^9/l.lymphocyte is 20%.is there is any problm?

Probably not...: If you are feeling well, and your obstetrician believes all is well then those are relatively normal pregnancy values. Wouldn't worry too much about treating numbers without symptoms or findings.

Q: i had cbc test. except lymphocytes others are normal. my lymphocyte count shows 19% and i am 32 weeks pregnant is it normal?

I am not worried: Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside, and percentages of white cells mean nothing apart from the absolute counts. If your absolute lymphocyte count is anywhere near the reference range, stop worrying and be grateful for your pregnancy. Best wishes to all three of you.

Q: 32 weeks pregnant, elevated wbc & lymphocytes/granulcytes. can this be a simple reaction to pregnancy? terrified of a leukemia diagnosis..

Could be: Could certainly be pregnancy related though also could be a sign of an infection, though without other symptoms that is unlikely. Without symptoms it's also unlikely to be leukemia and in that, abnormal cells are seen usually when the blood is examined under the microscope, which is a test your physician can order.

Q: dear doctor, i am 24 weeks pregnant. cbc test shows low lymphocytes (15%). do i need to worry ? do i have to do any further tests ? is it hiv +

Absolute count?: Percentages mean nothing. If your absolute lymphocyte count is above a thousand, I wouldn't pursue this at all.

Question 1

what does lymphocytes of 25.2 means in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

What kind of count?: If this is a percentage, and the absolute counts are within or close to reference range, you're fine. If you have an absolute lymphocyte count of 25, 200 you need to be evaluated by a hematologist without delay, especially given that you're pregnant. Best wishes.
