A member asked:

I am sle lupus patient.my blood lymphocytes percentage has been 48% (high) and mchc 31% ( low ) 2 times on past other counts are normal.indications?

Means nothing: Lupus patients often run a relatively low absolute neutrophil account because of autoimmunity. That's the number to watch. Only if it goes way-low is it a danger. I'm glad you're proactive about this. Best wishes.
