My recent CBC test revealed the following:
White Blood Count of 4.1 ("Normal" Range according to the lab is 4.1 - 11.3)
Neutrophils - 52.8% (Lab Range: 40-78)
Lymphocytes - 31.5% (Lab Range: 15-50)
Monocytes- 10.3% (Lab Range: 0-13)
Eosinolphis- 4.3% (Lab Range: 0-5)
Basophils - 1.1% (Lab Range: 0-5)
Red Blood Cell -- 5.08 (Lab Range: 4.2 - 5.5)
My doctor didn't even bring it up and just said everything came out "great". So when I asked him about the WBC, he said that, although its low, its still normal. I've done a tad bit of research which would seem to indicate that there are in fact people with consistently low WBC's but that the real cause for concern is if one of the differentiators fell well outside of the range. Regardless, I have been feeling very tired recently with stomach cramps so that's the only reason I'm a bit concerned. I've also been under a significant amount of stress due to a job change which might add to it. Any thoughts? Thanks!
