Is my lymph count high?

My lymphocyte is 50% and the range is 27-40% and has been this way for a while like 5 years, along with having low hemoglobin of 11.3 borderline anemic is what my doctor told me, I just wanted a second opinion to know if the lymphocyte range is okay. I've been quite healthy in terms of flu, cold haven't been sick for years, just if I do get sick its once in a while major problem like tonsillitis.

Since your labs range is 27-40% yours is high. Were the other cells low then since they take a percentage? Did they do an absolute lymphocyte count and was that normal? Was your total WBC count normal? Sometimes chronic conditions can make the lymphocyte count high like inflammatory problems. But if your hemoglobin is low too maybe you should determine why. Would you share your CBC results (remove your name and any personal data). You can put it on here. Please add the labs reference ranges. The ranges differ from lab to lab depending on what equipment they use and so forth. Have you talked to your doctor about these results? What have they said?

Have you had any iron, test or ferritin, folate, B12 etc done to check for anemia? Do you have any intestinal problems?
Any family history?

Thanks,
