Answers:
The counts are drastically elevated !.!.!. usually seen in infections!. May indicate low-grade appendicitis, a deep tissue abcess !.!.!. !?!?!?!? May also mean you have leukemia

PROBLEM: Your counts aren't adding up !.!.!. the % for the cells should equal 100% or real close to it and I'm not getting close to 100 on any of the results!.

This is an incomplete report, and I would need to see the smears !.!.!. something wierd is going on, or else the lab is incompetent!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off, my friend, you cannot be diagnosed online or by anyone other than a licensed NP, MD, PA or DO!. Labs must be interpreted by your provider to discern their significance as related to you!.

The white count is the more significant result and the changes in the differential suggests to me there's an active infection ongoing or something more serious!. Many things can result in a decrease in neutros and lymphos but two disorders that can decrease both are a two types of anemia and leukemia!. Basos are decreased with stress!. Infection, malnutrition, etc!. are also forms of stress, not just having a bad day!.

I don't believe urinalysis is necessary!. What I believe is necessary is that the patient should make a follow up appointment with the ordering physician, the doctor who ordered these labs, and review all these results!. The sooner, the better!.

If these aren't adding up for "abacaxit", it may be because eosinophils and monocytes were excluded!. In any case, let your doctor worry about that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
