Just asking if Im ok

by bigdeal, Sep 22, 2007 10:42PM
Please see my blood test results

Hamoglobin - 152
Hematocrit - .46
Total WBC  - 4.3 (below normal range of 5-10)
Neutrophils - .68 (above normal range .55-.65
Lymphocytes - .21 (below normal range of .25-.40)
Monocytes - .03
Eosinophils - .02
Basophils - .01
Stabs- .05

What's the cause of low WBC and how do i make it within normal range again?

Thanks

ask your doctor but those levels don't look much different from the normal range...  maybe just get the test again?

Hi Thanks but what did you mean by "but those levels don't look much different from the normal range"... some hospitals/clinics have different normal ranges?

Yes, labs always have slightly differing normal ranges.

My hemoglobin was 12 and they told me that was normal.  What is your  WBC count?  Normal is between 4,000 and 10,000.   If it is below 4,000 you really need to see a doc about it.

I just saw your WBC count.  I have CML and my WBC count went from 50(50,000) to 4(4,000) and they told me that my WBC count looked really good and was normal.

Hi.
Laboratory examinations need to be correlated clinically.  It serves as a supplement so as the correct diagnosis can be elucidated.
Though your complete blood count can still be considered within the normal range, if you are having symptoms, it would be best to consult your physician.
Good luck.
