A member asked:

Routine cbc, basophils elevated at 2.9%, basophils absolute normal at .1, wbc normal at 5000. does this mean anything?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to guess: Lab results usually are numbers, and numbers are just numbers, with little meaning unless a doctor takes in the whole picture of what's going on with his patient. If the patient's blood basophil count is slightly higher than the reference range, the ordering doctor may or may not consider the result a problem, depending on the patient's previous results, her symptoms, and her medications.
