Hello doctor,
Blood tests show high leukocytes of 12000 per microliter of blood with lymphocytosis and an elevated alkaline phosphatase at 162 u/L. Kindly suggest further tests to rule out cancers and lymphoma.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You need to repeat your CBC (complete blood count) after three to five days.
If lymphocytes count is normal then the chances of cancer are very less. If lymphocytes count remains persistently high then further workup as follow.
1. Peripheral smear examination report.
2. Liver, spleen and lymph node palpation.
3. Flow cytometry investigation if needed.
