A member asked:
The doctor says i have high basolphil but the other wbc seems to be normal. any ideas what it could be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means nothing: This has been a minor mystery to me during my forty years around pathology. If you feel well, high basophils are never a problem. If there's other evidence of illness, they can help clarify what's up. But if you feel well, don't try to figure it out. It's not any kind of increased risk.
