A member asked:
My neutrophil count specifically has continually decreased over several years from 3.3 to .81. i have no symptoms, have had no infections, and feel very healthy. i'm concerned about leukemia, are there any other reasons for the decline in the count?

It is better for use if you repost your question with the WBC count & its differential when the neutrophil count was 3,300/microL and 810/microL (or 3.3 & 0.81 by the unit you use). In general, an absolute neutrophil count of 810/microL (0.81 by the unit you use) is abnormal which is called neutropenia. Normal Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) is above 1,500/microL or 1.5 by the unit that you use.

My neutrophil count, specifically, has continually decreased over several (6) years from 3300 (WBC 6700) to 810 (WBC 3250). I have no symptoms, no infections, and feel healthy. All other blood counts are normal. MCHC slightly low. Possible cause?
If left shift neutrophils are reported but no sign of infection I read this May be leukemia. Since March I have other CBC done due to high ferritin, 1st CBC reports Left shift, next few all normal,23/06 left shift. In leukemia would it be intermitten?
