Question 1

what to do if i have high nucleated cell count?

Accepted Answer

Check with your doc: difficult to say why you are having nucleated cells (I assume red blood cell) count
It might happen if the bone marrow ( the factory that produces red cells) is overworking or due to other medical conditions.

You are welcome to start over and provide the missing information. In some settings you want the nucleated cell count to be low if not zero.

Question 3

i had a spinal tap and one of the reports said, nucleated cell count too low. i am being tested for ms and alzheimer's and so others?
