Question 1

what is neutrophil leucocytosis ?

Accepted Answer

Increase in one type: Of white blood cells. Increase in the neutrophil count usually occurs with bacterial infections.

Question 2

please what is neutrophil distribution and what are the implications if it is 16.7% in a 10month old baby boy? thanks

Accepted Answer

Incomplete info: It would be useful to look at the entire report and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to interpret lab results. If the neutrophil count is 16.7% of the white blood cells, that is too low and needs to be investigated. See this site for more info.

Question 3

what is absolute neutrophils and what 
does it mean when mine is high my absolute neutrophils level is high

Accepted Answer

Neutrophils : Neutrophils are white blood cells that help to fight bacterial infections.  The absolute neutrophil count (anc) is used to assess how many neutrophils a person has.  A count that is too low can put you at risk for bacterial infections.  A high count can indicate that your body is fighting an infection, or can be from an inflammatory injury such as a burn, heart attack or appendicitis.  People who do not have a spleen also can have a higher than normal anc.  It can even be caused by medications (such as steroids) or stress.  Very rarely a high ANC can indicate malignancy such as chronic myelogenous leukemia, but people usually have other signs and symptoms, also.  Because of this very wide range of high ANC causes, the context in which the test was ordered and how high it actually is is very important.  If you are worried about your test result, call the doctor that ordered the test and ask what they were looking for and if your high ANC is a concern.

Question 4

what is an absolute neutrophil count?

Accepted Answer

Number of cells in : A microliter of blood.  Blood cell counting instruments report total white cell count and percentages of differnt cell types, e.g., total WBC count 7200, neutrophils 50% would give an absolute neutrophil count of 3600/microliter or cmm.

Question 5

what is a low neutrophil and high platelet count indicate?

Accepted Answer

Need some detail: Here. How low and how high. Could be "nothing" all the way up to a significant blood disorder such as essential thrombocythemia.

Question 6

what is schilling's count for neutrophils?

Accepted Answer

Medical history: Schilling counted the number of segments on each neutrohil. This gave rise to the terms "right shift" and "left shift"; the former is hypersegmented neutrophils in megaloblastic change, the latter a lot of neutrophils without segments in serious bactrial infection or some leukemias. We don't do this any more. We'll simply look at and describe the smear.

Question 7

what is it when your neutrophil count is low, and lymphocytes are high..& ast also is high but total bilirubin is low?

Accepted Answer

Any symptoms?: 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, it might have helped to have the actual values rather than high and low.
Wish you 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 8

can prostatitis cause high neutrophils?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Neutrophils increase in response to stimuli such as infection.

Question 9

elevated neutrophils and elevated hemoglobin?

Accepted Answer

Maybe Infection.: The elevation of neutrophils coukl mean  bacterial infection, as these cells are important in fighting this kind of infection.  The high hemohlobin seems nonspecific, in abscence of other symptoms and signs.  It could possibly mean a polycythemia, one of the porphorias, or a myeloproliferative disorder, which could explain the high neutrophils.  It can also be from high altitude.  See dr. For more.

Question 10

does appendicitis cause increased neutrophils?

Accepted Answer

Often yes.: Not invariably but there are instances in which an elevation in white count is seen in patient's with appendicitis.
