Hello, in my complete blood test report the WBC count is 11,500 and platelets are 5,02,000, both slightly on the higher side. The other values are normal. What could be the reason for these high values?

Mildly high counts may be due to infection, inflammation, or recovery from illness. If you are asymptomatic, monitor. Repeat CBC after 1 to 2 weeks.

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test

What does it mean if the lymphocyte percentage in my DLC blood report is 3.08 percent and marked in red?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My daughter has a stomachache. The test reports show mild hepatomegaly and a few reactive mesenteric lymph nodes on the USG report. Her complete blood report shows neutrophils 34 percent (normal 45 to 70 percent) and lymphocytes 64 percent (normal 25 to 45 percent).
