A member asked:

Monocytes are 13.3% red blood count 5.38 and white blood count is 5.3 what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood counts: Monocytes=a type of white blood cell that can vary widely red blood count=number of red cells in a given volume of blood; your value may be slightly elevated which could indicate several possibilities including polycythemia from smoking or other disease white blood count=number of white cells in a given volume of blood. Includes several different types of cells. Specific numbers of components is more useful than this raw count, which is probably normal.
