A low basophil level is called basopenia. It can be caused by infections, severe allergies, or an overactive thyroid gland.

Hi, I have shared my CBC report. Some of the parameters appear to be high or low. Could you please help me understand my report and advise if any action is needed?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Dear doctor, my father is 51 years old. His recent CBC blood report shows a high eosinophil count. He also experiences itching on some days. The report is attached. Is this normal, and has the eosinophil count returned to normal? Kindly provide your valuable suggestion.

I recently received my routine checkup report, but since I am not from a medical background, I tried to look up the meaning of the tests online to see if everything is normal. However, I am still unsure. My results are Hemoglobin: 17.3 (High) RBC count: 5.9 (High) Hematocrit: 54.2 (High) Absolute Basophil Count: 00 (Low) MPV: 11.6 (High) Total Cholesterol Ratio: 2.64 (Low) BUN: 8.61 (Low) Could you please explain what these results mean? Are they within normal limits, or is there any cause for concern?
