A member asked:
Last cbc lymphocytes were 29% and was marked as low because i'm only 17 years old. my wbc was 7.3 thousand. does that cause leukemia? should i worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. Stop worrying: Percentages on CBC's mean nothing to anyone, even the absolute counts fluctuate wildly from hour to hour, and if the cells are all well-formed and the counts anywhere near reference range, you don't have leukemia.
