Question 1

recently i had a cbc and hat critical high white blood cells. my myelocytes were high, monocytes low and lymphs were low. worried about leukemea! ?

Accepted Answer

Well...: Myelocytes are immature white cells that do not belong in the blood stream but in the bone marrow.  Yes this could be a leukemia.
Talk to you Dr., and if you are able do not go alone, have a loved one next to you.
The test should repeated anyway, and should be examined by a pathologist

Question 2

pediatric cancer? low rbc, low wbc, low platelets, low igm, high mcv, low neutrophils, low monocytes and low eosinophils, occasional myelocytes,

Accepted Answer

Pancytopenia: Pancytopenia could be related to other issues that needs to be evaluated  including pediatric connective tissue disease. Your physician will look at all of these issues

Question 3

my monocyte is zero  is it cerious ?

Accepted Answer

Not an issue: No consequence of having no monocytes on your differential.

Question 4

what would happen if monocyte count is 0% and what causes it to be 0 ?

Accepted Answer

Stop worrying : Old manual counting methods ("Just count the first hundred cells") or poorly-functioning software-driven devices can give this result. There's no illness in which monocytes really vanish. If this is all, you're good.

Question 5

does prednosone raise monocytes?

Accepted Answer

Most typically: Neutrophils but monocytes could also be up.

Question 6

would sinusitis affect my monocyte count?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: While infectious and inflammatory conditions may alter the monocyte count, sinusitis typically does not increase the mono count significantly.

Question 7

do you know if lymphoma can cause high monocytes?

Accepted Answer

Not typical.: Monocytes are derived from a different type of white cell than lymphoma cell, so it would not be expected that lymphoma would cause high monocytes.  However high monos are seen in people getting chemotherapy.  There are many other causes including some infections and various bone marrow problems.

Question 8

what happens if basophil and monocyte count will 0%?

Accepted Answer

Likely normal: Basophils are very rare in the blood. If found in a blood sample at all, they usually make up no more than 1% of the total white blood cells. Monocytes are found more frequently than basophils--about 5-10% of white blood cells. 0% monocytes is a bit low, but this can be normal variation. See your doctor; he/she may repeat the blood test or follow it over time to make sure everything is normal.

Question 9

what can cause basophils to be high 6 , and monocytes to be low 2?

Accepted Answer

Lots of things!: Realize that the "count" of different types of wbc's (white blood cells) is based on a total of 100.  So anything that shifts one way or the other affects everything else.  For instance - if you have a bacterial infection and your neutrophils are high (80) - everything else will be "low".  Basophils of 6 is a minor elevation.  But....In general - inflammation, increased estrogen, asthma, sinusitis.

Question 10

monocytes 1.09ng/l. ref range 0.16 - 1.0. anything to worry about ?

Accepted Answer

No: The test result you provided is normal and nothing to worry about.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.
