What could be the reason for low levels of neutrophils and high levels of lymphocytes?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am concerned about my low neutrophils and high lymphocytes. I will attach the results. A doctor told me my WBC is 6000 per microliter of blood and advised me not to worry. Currently, I am taking Atorvastatin, Levothyroxine, and Benadryl.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have reviewed your laboratory results. A single test is of minimal clinical significance if not coupled with complaints and symptoms. After reviewing your test results, I can tell you that your total white blood cell count is normal. Even though the percentage values of the different subsets of WBC might be altered, their absolute count is within the normal range for neutrophils (2.42) and lymphocytes (3.23). What is considered are absolute values and not percent values because percent values are just relative representations. Be at ease if you do not have any clinical symptoms or complaints. Of course, it would be important if a physician had reviewed a glass slide to assess WBC for qualitative features. But again, if this test was done primarily prophylactically and not due to any complaints, there is no reason to worry.
Thank you.
