A member asked:
I have lupus. what does it mean if my absolute monocytes are low. test results say it is 156.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: 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. Having said that, a monocyte count of 156 is not a cause for concern.
