Question 1

is it possible for someone with vasculitis to have an increase of monocytes? if so, what types of diseases would be the cause? symptoms: fever, fatigue, severe back neck and shoulder pain, responds to high dose prednisone, decrease appetite. negative bone

Accepted Answer

Yes, : Yes, elevated monocytes can be elevated in some types of vasculitis.  Monocytes can also be elevated in chronic infections.  I am glad that you have had a negative bone marrow study.  High sedimentation rate can go along with inflammatory or infectious causes.  It sounds like your hematologist is performing a thorough workup.

Question 2

lab results wbc 15.6 mchc29.6, 649platlets 4.3lymthocytes 1.6 monocytes 9.7anc what does this mean. history of undiff mixed connective disease. ?

Accepted Answer

Labs: These results must be interpreted by your doctor in the context of your illness.  By themselves they do not necessarily have any specific meaning.  The elevated platelet count may need further assessment.  Go talk to your doctor.

Question 3

am 24 with a wbc of 3.9 w/ monocytes at 10.7%. in 2012 wbc was 7.2. currently have 8 swollen lymph nodes. no infectious disease . was re-ended in dec.

Accepted Answer

All of the : Labs you quote are normal. The monocytes being elevated shows an active healthy bone marrow. Your lymph nodes filter those vessels that drain areas of your body. You are likely very healthy.

Question 4

hi i have  acute myocardial infarction, hypertensive cardiovascular disease,  ruled out pud; diabetic nephropathy. 
neutrophils - 66%, lymphocytes -15.4, monocytes - 13.1
total rbc  - 2.57x 10^9/l, hgb - 10 g/dl, hct - 28.0 what is the meaning of lab?

Accepted Answer

Labs: Your labs indicate a moderate anemia which, in your case, may be from iron deficiency related to monthly blood loss during periods or from your  chronic kidney disease. For you to suffer a myocardial infarction your serum cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and HDLmay well  be abnormal leading to coronary artery disease.

Question 5

what would be the absolute monocyte level in someone with sarcoidosis?

Accepted Answer

Often a bit high: It's a monocyte-crazy disorder and like TB i've noticed over the years that monocytes often run a bit high, maybe 800 or 1000.  This is notoriously unreliable but a tipoff; nobody's going to base a decision on it but it's fun to see.

Question 6

my absolute monocytes levels are 176.  what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Not much: All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that.

Question 7

in addition to the last question, the monocyte level should be 0.00 - 0.90 ?

Accepted Answer

: Your posts on this site are never linked nor can they be retrieved for study. As such this post does not provide the context needed for a response. All lab work should be interpreted by the provider who knows your full case history/exam and other findings. You are welcome to start over and provide background info.

Question 8

should i be alarmed that for the past 5 months my monocyte level has never gone lower than 12.0? last month, it went up to 14.5. thanks.

Accepted Answer

How do you FEEL?: Some folks run high monocytes. At best, they're a clue to what might be causing symptoms. If you feel okay, I'd ignore them.

Question 9

my monocytes level is 1.0 and hemoglobin is 12.4. what does that 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, both values are lower than usual but are not diagnostic of a disease.   
Wish you good health!

Question 10

blood work came back as monocytes are high at 1.1 level, what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Reference ranges are set up so that several percent of healthy folks have values outside at either end. If you are obviously sick, this high absolute monocyte count might steer your physician toward one of the granulomatous diseases, or they may be activated lymphocytes from a mild viral illness that were miscounted as monocytes. Don't fret over minor lab anomalies.
