Recently I had blood work and my lymphocytes were at 6.8 and went to 11. My WBC was at 15.8. And my monocytes were slightly elevated. Ive been on prednisone for 7 mths ( 15mg now at 6mg). Could this be caused by The prednisone or something much more?

6 months ago I had blood work done that showed my monocyte count was 1,000 cells/uL (high for me) this past month another test showed my monocytes are still high at 1,044 cells/uL. My WBC count was in the 9000s both times. Should I be worried?

Had one high monocyte count on blood work but monocyte absolute is normal. Is this a concern?

My monocyte % has been "high" for over a year now. At 13%, 13.2%, and 12.1% on my past three blood tests. My monocyte count however has been sitting at 800. My iron/ferritin are low as well (Ferr- 16.2). Is this something I should be worried about?
