A member asked:

I got a cbc blood test and my lymphocytes reading was 45.5% and was flagged high...normal said 42%. everything else was normal. is this bad.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolute count?: These percentages mean nothing whatever apart from the total number of lymphocytes and the total number of neutrophils. If both are in the reference range or fairly close, this is not a cause for concern.
