High mature CD3 % on a lymphocyte panel.

What does it mean when someone has a high mature CD3 %,
The results state mature CD3 84%. In range is 57%-85% therefore nearly as a clinical lymphocytosis.
My questions kindly, what is the most common reason for this reading?
Is a high CD3% (mature T) a bad indicator?

Hi!
I would say, it basically means that you have a good immune system as CD3 is expressed in mature T cells which help in T-cell related immunity. They originate from thymus. In your case it is still within range. However, do ask your doctor about it also. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
