Question 1

what does it mean if a child has elevated eosinophil levels?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: It usually means that the child has allergies such as dust mite or pollen etc. It can also be an indicator of a parasite infection. If there is diarrhea better get him/her tested for parasites. Have you been out of the usa? Or do you have a lot of contact with dogs, cats etc?

Question 2

what do elevated eosinophils in the blood mean?

Accepted Answer

May be a warning: An absolute eosinophil count above 500, especially in the morning, deserves some attention. Despite "pop" wisdom, it's seldom a warning about allergy, and if your allergies are acting up, you'd know anyway. Anything from worms to hodgkin's to the eosinophil family of diseases to nothing-at-all can do this. Again, the history & physical exam is your key. Best wishes.

Question 3

what does low abs eosinophils mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: I would draw no conclusion whatsoever from a random finding of an eosinophil count below the reference range. It's an obsolete marker for hypercortisolism but so insensitive and nonspecific as to be worthless. The ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside at either end.

Question 4

what does it mean when your eosinophils is low?

Accepted Answer

Usually nothing: A bit of stress will drive them down, or if it's a small-sample count, there just didn't happen to be one among the first hundred or few hundred counted. You can drive yourself crazy reading the differential diagnosis for numbers -- but this isn't your warning of incipient cushing's if you feel well. Most labs mean little in the absence of symptoms and signs.

Question 5

what does absolute eosinophils reading of 526 mean?

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing: While a very high absolute eosinophil count (usually &gt;1000-1500) for several months can lead to problems, a count of 526 by itself is unlikely to be significant. It can be caused by allergies, asthma, certain infections, reactions to medications, etc. Talk with your doctor about other symptoms you are having. If the count stays very for high for a long time, see a hematologist or immunologist.

Question 6

what does it mean when your eosinophils cells count is 0?

Accepted Answer

Typically: nothing.  It is a normal finding.

Question 7

whats that mean my son got 514 h  on the absolute eosinophils test?

Accepted Answer

Parasites: Eosinophils can be elevated in certain medical conditions like esophagitis and parasite infections. He needs to see his doctor for evaluation for these conditions.

Question 8

what exactly does it mean to have eosinophils which is higher than normal range?

Accepted Answer

How high?: An eosinophil count slightly above normal may be due to allergies, asthma, reactions to medications, certain infections, etc. A very high count (&gt;1000 or so) for several weeks to months could be a sign of disorder of the immune system or bone marrow, or certain parasitic infections. Talk with your doctor about your symptoms, and see a hematologist or immunologist if your counts are very high.

Question 9

eosinophils absolute
your value
0.6 x10e3/ul
standard range
0.0 - 0.4 x10e3/ul
flag
h

what does this mean?

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, "H" in meant to indicate the result is "higher" than the reference range of the lab. However, your result is not a cause for concern, despite being labeled high.
Wish you good health!

Question 10

what does high eosinophils mean?

Accepted Answer

Possibly allergy: Eosinophils are one type of white blood cell.  These cells are created in the bone marrow and released into the blood.  These cells can be increased in several settings, such as allergies (to drugs and other things), in response to some infections (especially parasites), and in some inflammatory and neoplastic (potentially malignant) blood disorders.  See a doc who knows your clinical setting...
