All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your count while lower than normal is not too bad. You may wish to watch and wait and repeat the test in 3-6 months. Refrain from alcohol. Wish you good health!
