A member asked:

Why low rbc and high monocytes? rbc=4.0 and monocytes=11.0

A doctor has provided 1 answer

RBC/monocytes: I would not develop a theory based on a single abnormal complete blood count result with minimal shifts beyond normal values. If the rest of the complete blood count looks normal and you have no symptoms, i would repeat it in a month for your peace of mind.
