My blood test report shows ESR 36 and monocytes 0. I do not have fever, chills, or burning urination, but I do have back pain. Is having 0 monocytes normal, and can it be harmful for my body?

Monocytes can temporarily drop with infections or stress. ESR of 36 is mildly high and may relate to inflammation. Back pain could be musculoskeletal. Not serious if symptoms improve.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test

I have taken a blood test. I have elevated RBC and iron binding capacity. Is this normal? This is causing anxiety to me.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please review my report. I noticed that my monocyte count is 9, while the normal range is 3 to 6. What does a high monocyte count indicate, and should I be concerned?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have lab results of WBC 12.4, platelets 470, MPV 7.1, lymphocytes 3.5. Is this a cause of concern? Please note I also have allergies and I did have a flu shot right before having the blood work done.
