Blood Work
Just had a work physicial completed and they sent me full results of all blood work.... I had a couple of abnormalities but they seem close to the limits....
My Basophil was 1.4 when the normal range is 0.0-1.0
My MCH was high 31.9 when the normal range is 27.0-31.2
My MPV was low 7.3 when normal range is 7.4-10.4
Everything else was perfect so I was wondering if there should be any cause for concern on anything especially with the high Basophil

Thanks for the info.... yes I have read into it more and seen Alergies as a cause..... I do have some mild seasonal allergies and an "Itchy skin" condition that I must take zyrtec for on a daily basis or it drives me nuts.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Yes, the count can actually be considered normal. High basophil count (only basophils increased) is generally seen in allergies and worms in stool. Hence you need to rule out these two causes. It can be high in polycythemia vera and leukemia, but this would also increase the RBC and other cells. Count can also be high as a part of chronic inflammation, cancers and radiation but none of these are causes of only high basophils.
Hence rule out worms by a simple stool test, and allergies you would know by your symptoms alone.
Take care!
