My blood report shows mild leukocytosis, and my lymphocyte count is increasing each month. Currently, my lymphocyte count is 5.67. Is there anything to worry about?

A mild increase in lymphocytes and white blood cells also known as leukocytosis, often reflects recent infections or inflammation. A count of 5.67 is slightly above normal but not worrisome if you are otherwise healthy. Monitor the trend with repeat tests. If it continues to rise or if you develop new symptoms like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, consult a doctor.

Which medicine to reduce tlc?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Good Evening, Doctor. My mother recent blood report shows an elevated PDW value. Should we be concerned and get it checked further? She is also going through menopause (her periods stopped around 4 months ago). Could this be related? I have attached the report for your review. Thank you in advance.
