A member asked:

What is the normal percentage range for neutrophils and lymphocytes? is the percentage important or the absolute count?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dr. Christine Hom answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

White blood cells: The ranges are wide, espectially because white cells numbers vary rapidly and widely. As you might imagine, the absolute numbers count.

Thank

Laboratory reports: Neutrophils 40-60% and lymphocytes 20-40%. Yes absolute count is also important. Absolute ct of neutrophils below 500 is considered absolute neutropenia and carries significant risk for encapsulated bacteria.
