What is the difference between erythrocyte, leukocyte, and a thrombocyte?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different cells: Erythrocyte is red blood cell- its job is to carry oxygen and delivers to the entire body; leukocyte is white blood cell-and its job is related to our immune system/fighting infections etc; thrombocyte or platelet- type of blood cell that is playing a role in thrombosis- to stop bleeding in the event of bleeding. They are part of blood cells- but completely different kind of cells.

My recent lab work shows low WBC 3.1, high monocyte 13.1%, ANC 1.9, and low platelets 136. 2 months ago my WBC were 6.0, monocytes 7%, ANC 5.0, and platelets 123. This seems like a big difference to me. Should I be concerned? No recent med changes?
