A member asked:

Last 2 cbc in order wbc 6.4,5.1 neutr 65%,72% lymphs 21%,19% does the fact that neut% went up to 72% have effect on my lymphs abs # to go down to 1.0?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes. Simple math.: If total WBC's count is fairly stable, pretend we have 10,000 WBCs, with 40% neutrophils and 30% lymphocytes, that means there are 4000 neut and 3000 lymph. The numbers are the machine's counting of what is in the blood. Likewise, if there are 1000 kids at school, 40% boys means 400 boys (if one leaves and is replaced by a girl, there will be 399 boys, or 39.9% boys, and 60.1% girls).
