Question 4

absolute lymphocytes mean?

Accepted Answer

Total number: In a given volume of blood, rather than percentage. It's a more helpful number. Only very marked deviation from the reference range is worrisome.

Question 5

why would absolute lymphocytes be low?

Accepted Answer

Various causes: Most common cause of low lymphocytes are an infection which usually resolves. One of the common causes of low lymphocytes is HIV which affects the lymphocytes and reduces their number. If low, the patient should see a hematologist.

Question 6

is absolute lymphocyte count of 1.9 on a 2.3 low range reason to be seriously concerned.?

Accepted Answer

Does not add up: 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, the information you provided does not add up. You may wish to restate the issue and provide complete results.
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, if you have sex.

Question 7

my absolute lymphocytes is 3.7 and my lymphocytes are 33% a year ago it was 4.9 and 41%. what does this mean and should i be alarmed?

Accepted Answer

Not alarming: These percentages change frequently, with every time the blood is drawn. The changes are usually meeting was, but we cannot evaluate it completely without seeing the rest of the numbers from the CBC's. Hope that helps.

Question 8

how do you correct a low absolute lymphocyte count of 1.09k/ul?

Accepted Answer

: Most cases are benign and transient. Numbers are not treated, but conditions. If you have workup to detect a specific condition that indeed is positive, treating that specific condition will help with the respective count. Your actual count would be borderline normal on the low side for most labs.

Question 9

what does a absolute lymphocyte count below 1.0k/ul mean? what count is it concerning?

Accepted Answer

: Normal absolute lymphocyte count(ALC) ranges  between 1,000/m2 to 15000/m2.
Counts between 500 to 1,000 still have intact immune function but ALC below 500 equals impaired immune function and hence an increased risk of infections. These numbers are derived from patients with HIV infections as they evolve into AIDS.

Question 10

on labs my absolute lymphocytes is 1.5 say low. i'm a 63 female . should i be concerned with this ?

Accepted Answer

It depends: While that level of lymphocytes is low, there are reasons why a person can have low levels, many of which are part of a normal immune response. When a person first encounters a virus or bacteria, neutrophil levels rise, and lymphocyte levels can fall. This switches over a week's time, when lymphocyte levels rise and neutrophils fall. If the overall white cell count is normal, the all is likely ok.
