Hi, my blood reports usually show a higher lymphocyte percentage, around 47 in the last test. What steps can I take to reduce it? Thank you.

Mildly elevated lymphocytes may be due to recent or chronic viral infection. If other parameters are normal, no treatment is needed. Repeat after a few weeks.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test

Hi, I want to know what a complete blood test includes and what types of blood tests one should take to analyze and maintain physical well being?

In my wife peripheral smear report, it is mentioned that a few activated lymphocytes are seen. Could you please help me understand what this means? Her CBC parameters are normal, and her urine report is also normal.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have received my blood report. The Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) is 15.1 percent, which is slightly high by 1.1 percent according to the report, and lymphocytes are also slightly elevated at 40.4 percent. My platelet count is 154,000/mm. Could you please suggest if these results indicate any underlying issue?
