Question 1

prob. again with blood work: why do my neuts. go hi then low and my lymphs and monos go low then hi being marked abnormal in both directions?

Accepted Answer

It's what they do: Your body is continuously under attack from microbial invaders. Picture a wwii movie where the #s of marines/af/navy/army troops fluctuate by campaign. Polys are marines who confront bacteria. Lymph special skill is viral and immunity work. Eos are specialized to parasites & allergens and monos may work as elite problem solvers, depending on where they are. The spleen houses reserves.

my 6 year old had blood work done and her neut% was low and her lymp% was high. she also had high ast and high alkaline phosphates. her wbc # are normal. she also itches without rash and has pea sized nodes in neck?

Blood tests: There are a few diseases that leap out from blood tests.  Most of the time, however, blood tests don't tell the doctor much on their own.  These results fall into the second group, not very specific.  Good health to you and your child.

Question 3

can blood work show lymphomas?

No: Lymphomas are diagnosed by microscopic examination of a lymph node by a pathologist. Blood counts are not an appropriate test for lymphoma.
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, if you have sex.
