I recently had some blood work done and wanted an opinion on the results.
Wbc 2.6, auto neut 27.7, auto lymphs 16.4, auto mono 24.7, auto eos 0.4, abs neut 0.7, abs lymph 0.8, Ag ratio 1.0.
So essentially everything is low except my monocytes. Can anyone explain to me what might cause that?

Hello. Is it possible for you to send us the laboratory reference ranges for your results. Thank you.
Hello, If monocytes are high this is a sign that there is some kind of problem elsewhere. Think of monocytes as “little soldiers” – if monocytes are high this means your body is producing more soldiers to fight out some other condition … like an infection or other disorder or problem. Thank you.

You will need to continue to work with your doctor and relevant specialists to identify the problem. Thank you for your question.
