urgently

[bewa]

i have my lab result says  Neutrophils is 34% and Neutrophils absolute is 2.2 which is normal,so also my Lymphs is 55 and Lymphs absolute is3.5 which is normal.my question now is what is diff between Neutrophils and Neutrophils absolute and also diff between Lymphs and Lymphs absolute.

[bewa]

no,perfectly okay !

ference between Neutrophils % and Absolute Neutrophils Count
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC), the number of neutrophils in a milliliter of blood, having a reference value of approximately 1500-7700 per µL. The ANC is a measure of a person's immune status. Generally, if the count is above 1000, the person may safely mingle with other people or undergo chemotherapy, but a count below 500 indicates that a person is at high risk for infection and should be kept away from those with infectious disorders. Neutropenia by definition is an ANC below 1800/mm3. It is calculated by adding the number of segmented neutrophils and the number of basal neutrophils and multiplying the sum by the total white blood cell (WBC) count. The formula is ANC = Total WBC count × (% neutrophils + % bands)/100.
More important than the percentage of neutrophils is the absolute neutrophil count (ANC), which should fall between 1.0 to 8.0 k/ul. The reason the ANC represents the true clinical picture better than the percentage of neutrophils is that, in cases where blood counts are suppressed by therapy, the percentage of neutrophils will be higher when the overall counts are low. One may calculate the ANC by multiplying the percentage of neutrophils (in decimal form) plus the percentage of bands (in decimal form) by the total number of white blood cells. The number of bands is usually quite low or even zero, so one may also obtain a fairly accurate ANC by leaving the percent of bands out of the equation.
  what every that means!
