Question 1

brisk lower-leg reflexes. extreme fatigue. bouts of vertigo and vision loss/blurriness. symptoms last 3-14 days and occur every 3-6 months. csf igg index elevated. ketones in urine. neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio elevated. could these all be related?

Accepted Answer

MRI of the brain?: it sounds as if you have had a proper work up if they even did CSF studies  What was the probable diagnosis mentioned?

Question 2

what is a normal value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio ? is there a cut off for healthy population?

Accepted Answer

: The ratio of neutrophil to lymphocyte is called NLR, a bio marker. Normal  level is 1-2and over 3  is considered abnormal  and is higher in males and elderly over 85  .The neutrophil response is an immediate immune response to infections and non infectious stimuli the lymphocyte response is an adaptive immune response  .NLR can be used to monitor heart disease  stroke kidney disease and cancer .

Question 3

what does a nlr indicate neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio. i see ranges 1-3 is normal 6-9 is mild but what would a 4 or 5 indicate . current absolute neutrophils 7.86 absolute lymphocytes 1.67. thank you ?

Accepted Answer

: 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, the results you provided are not a cause for concern.    Wish you good health!

Question 4

what type of pleural effusion generally cause high fever,chill,pleuritic chest pain,leukocytosis(high neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio) & high crp/esr?

Accepted Answer

Empyema: Pus in the pleural (chest) cavity usually due to pneumonia or penetrating injury that got infected

Question 5

i made a cbc analysis and got lymphocytes/neutrophils ratio of 1.02, lab says normal from 0.2-0.99. is my value abnormal and what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Typically I don't believe in chasing numbers so if you have incidental finding on your lab studies that are so close to normal- I wouldn't pursue further. Rather I would watch the trend in future lab studies.

Question 8

what does low neutrophils and high lymphocytes mean?

Accepted Answer

Viral infection: Viral infection is a common cause but there are others.  Requires a thorough physical examination and perhaps additional lab studies.

Question 9

low neutrophils and high lymphocytes in women mean what?

Accepted Answer

It depends: One cannot look just at lynphocyte and neutrophil percentages.  It must be interpreted in the context of the total white blood cell count.

Question 10

what the effect low neutrophils and high lymphocytes mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing by itself: I often with that percentages weren't even reported on blood counts -- it generates confusion. Both neutrophil and lymphocyte levels fluctuate chaotically. If both are anywhere near the reference range, and no abnormal white cells showed up on smear, you're best not to worry. Life is difficult enough without trying to find meaning in a lab report where there probably is none.
