Question 1

what does it mean to have low granulocyte of 40?

Accepted Answer

: I assume the number 40 means 40%. Granulocytes include neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils so we need to know the percentage and absolute number of each line. Commonly, we see a low granulocyte count (granulocytonenia) when a patient has high lymphocyte count such as during an acute viral disease. For a correct interpretation of a lab result, patient's medical history is necessary. Good luck.

Question 2

what does it mean if you have a low granulocytes count?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: There are many reasons for low neutrophil counts. Neutrophils are bacteria-fighting white blood cells. Medications, bone marrow disorders, and other health problems can lead to low neutrophils. A hematologist is a doctor who specializes in disorders of blood cells.

Question 3

what do low granulocytes and low basophils mean?

Accepted Answer

Blood cells: These are types of white blood cells, part of the immune system. Basophils are present in very low concentrations, so it would be very unusual to have too low a basophils count. But granulocytes are the most predominant wbc, abd can be low for many reasons. Too many to enumerate here, but medications, certain problems such as lupus, etc. A hematologist can help.

Question 4

what means low lymph percent and high granulocytes absolute number?

Accepted Answer

Need numbers: 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. Having said that, it would have helped to have the actual numbers rather high and low.  You may consult this site for information: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003657.htm
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. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 5

what does it mean to have all blood work normal except the immature granulocyte number and percent was low ?

Accepted Answer

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. Having said that, a few immature granulocytes, with no blasts, is not a cause for concern.

Question 6

wbc high 17.8, absolute grans high 14.30, granulocytes high 80.4, lymph low 16.0. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial infection?: Most people with WBC counts like this have a bacterial infection of some sort. Discuss with your doctor.

Question 7

my mean platelet volume is high, neutrophils low, and granulocytes low, what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Need actual values: 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. Having said that, it not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without the actual values. It would be prudent to discuss the findings with your doctor.

Question 8

what does a low neutrophil count mean?

Accepted Answer

Low neutrophil count: = Neutropenia = low white blood cell. White blood cells help to fight infections.

Question 9

what does low neutrophil with high eosinophil mean?

Accepted Answer

Allergic Rxn, error,: Neutrophils are normally 45-74% in a count of wbc's while eosinophils are normally 0-7%.  You might have a high count from an allergic reaction to something or it might be that some neutrophils might have been mistaken for eosinophils.  Either way, this does not seem abnormal enough to indicate an underlying disorder.  A repeat count would be advised.  See your doctor.

Question 10

what does high neutrophil & low lymphocyte count mean?

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.
