A member asked:

What to do if i got my cbc and i got low monocyte. should i worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If you're otherwise healthy, a somewhat low absolute monocyte count means nothing. Percentages mean even less. Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside.
