Question 1

what does a high nuetraphil and low lymphocyte count mean?

Accepted Answer

Maybe nothing: Additional info is needed to comment on a low neutrophil and lymphocyte count. How low? Are the monocytes, eosinophils, or basophils elevated? What is the total white blood cell count? Is any other part of the blood test abnormal? How does the patient feel? Any recent illnesses? A doctor will need these answers to comment on your question.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

i am wondering what having a high % neutrophil count with a low % lymphocyte count means as every time i have a cbc done it shows this.

Accepted Answer

Absolute counts?: If both the absolute neutrophil count and the absolute lymphocyte count are within normal range, simply forget about it. It's you. Trust you are HIV negative. If the absolute lymphocyte count is below 1000, or the absolute neutrophil count consistently above 10000, a hematology consult might be in order. Glad you are proactive; best wishes.

Question 4

low lymphocyte count last three tests. went from 17%  to 13% to 19% over a year.  range is 22%no hiv. all other normal except neutrophils high. mean?

Accepted Answer

Not really low!: Your lymphocyte counts are fine. they will fluctuate up and down and are not a fixed number. tell us about your neutrophil /WBC counts. Then we can make it more clear for you. We need a complete blood count(CBC) report before one can advice you.

Question 5

high esr and normal wbc count. what does this mean. also my lymphocyte count is a bit low?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: A slightly low lymphocyte count usually is meaningless.  A high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) indicates an infection or some sort of systemic inflammation. Hundreds of things can cause it. High ESR never gives a clue to any particular diagnosis. It just means additional exams and testing are necessary to learn the cause. Keep working with your doctor. Good luck!

Question 6

i have a high wbc count. high neutrophils count 0.77 and low lymphocyte count 0.3, what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

How high is WBC: Depending on how high the WBC is, the findings are suggestive of an infection most likely a viral one. However rarely can a diagnosis  be made with just blood test results alone.

Question 7

what does a high rdw count 15.9, high wbc count 11.3, high neutrophil count 73.0, low lymphocyte count 20.3 mean or possibly indicate?

Accepted Answer

Nothing by itself: I've had my RDW that high just from frequent blood donations. Your absolute neutrophil count is probably high -- did you have a recent infection? A recent cold shower? As a lab specialist, i'm always reminding folks that the numbers by themselves mean nothing except in the context of the history and physical exam. If you feel well and the white cells aren't described as abnormal, don't worry.

Question 8

positive for covid. lymphocyte count was extremely low at 0.36. ive read that means severe covid ? i had monoclonal antibody infusion because i am high risk from heart condition. how concerned should i be?

Accepted Answer

: Do not concern much because it is out of your control. You should be safe if you already received monoclonal antibody treatment and you are well enough to go online for question.

Question 9

what could it mean that my spleen is enlarged, slightly high wbc & lymphocyte count, and slightly low platelet and neutrophil count. with symptoms.?

Accepted Answer

That depends: This could point to an infection, lymphoma or leukemia.  You need to sit down with your doctor and talk about the causes.  You need to have more testing done.

Question 10

absolute lymphocyte count 3903 mchc 30.5 (below),rdw  2 sdw 47.4 .(above)homocystenine 36(above) ,tsh 5.8( ft4high normal ft3 low normal creatinine ratio 24 high tri glycerides 95.ldl 133 (high),hdl 40 (low) crp 7.8 (0to 5)
does this mean lymphoma ?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: 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.   
Wish you good health!
