What would the medical test results seem to indicate?

[sirromi]

Lymphocyte result is 55.4.
PLT is 116,000.
HGB 12.8.
HCT 38.3.
Eosinophil 0.6.
Monocyte 1.1.
What are these kind of results telling me?
there are no symptons.


This discussion is related to Ferritin Levels (CBC test results) .

According to that book I sited above, for a man, your hemoglobin should be higher than a woman's.  It's old and labs may have different ranges nowadays, but for women, it says normal is 12-15 but for men it is 14-16.5 g/100 ml.  So, your number may be low, but it says an arbitrary number of 12 g is acceptable, so yours is above that by a little bit.  For hematocrit, it says for men normal values vary widely but they list it as 40-54 percent versus women at 37-47 percent.  So again, depending on the lab your doctor uses, your number might be a little low for a man.

According to nih, a gov website, eosinophil normal value is less than 350 cells per microliter (cells/mcL but they say labs vary and talk to your dr. about your results.

Monocyte normal value, according to a lab that did that type of test on me (lab values vary) 1.7-9.3 percent, so yours would be low than at 1.1.  But on stills disease lab test site, they say that normal can be 0-9 percent which would put your number in normal range seemingly.  It says monocytes are helpful in fighting severe infections and that a low value indicates a state of health.

Normal lymphocyte count for adults according to nih, a gov website, usually is between 1,000 and 4,800 lymphocytes per microliter of blood.  So, it would seem your number is high.  A Manual of Laboratory Diagnostic Tests  by Fischbach, second edition gives the range as 1000-4000 cu mm and states if your number is above 4,000 the clinical implication is that you have lymphocytosis.  Conditions that cause this are listed as follows
a) "Most viral upper respiratory infections"
b) "Other viral diseases such as mumps, pertussis, infectious mononucleosis, infectious hepatitis, viral pneumonia, and measles"
c) "Bacterial infections such as tuberculosis, brucellosis, syphillis, and healing infections"
d) "Hormonal disorders such as hypothyroidism and hypoadrenalism"
e) "Lymphocytic leukemia, lymphocytic lymphosarcoma, leukosarcoma"
f) "Diarrhea"

According to lab tests online, a normal adult platelet count is about 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter (x 10–6/Liter) of blood.   So it would seem 116,000 would be flagged for being low.  They list some reasons being long term bleeding, like from stomach ulcers, gram-negative sepsis, auto immune disorders, certain drugs like acetaminophen, quinidine, sulfa drugs, digoxin, vancomycin, valium, and nitroglycerine, renal disease and failure, chemo and radiation, and splenic sequestration
