Unlike red blood cells, white blood cells do not divide or undergo mitosis.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE (LDH) - SERUM Test or Take a ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY/FACTOR (ANA/ANF), IFA (HEP-2) END POINT TITRE Test

What percentage of monocytes is considered high?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I want to understand how to interpret the results of my CBC and metabolic panel. Some values came back abnormal, and I am unsure if they are concerning. My results are: Neutrophils: 84.6 percent (normal range 42.2 to 75.2) Lymphocytes: 8.6 percent (20.5 to 51.5) Eosinophils: 0.3 percent (0.7 to 7.8) Calcium: 10.3 mg/dL (8.4 to 10.2) Alkaline phosphatase: 121 (40 to 120) For reference, I have hypothyroidism and hirsutism. I am taking levothyroxine and spironolactone, and recently stopped hydrochlorothiazide.

Actually, I am having a sore throat problem for a long time. I took every medication but nothing worked. I always feel like having cough and scratching sensation in my throat. Please help me. Just because of it I have to leave my job. Please look at my report. Is everything normal or is it something else?
