Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I just got back my blood tests, and they give me results but did not give me the normal ranges. Just let me know if any were high or low. any one have a link to a site were the normal ranges are stated.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 : It's common to have the white class (leukocytes) depressed while on abx- and your tests reflect that. Although - on JUL 04 when the monocytes were flagged as high you could have really had some sort of infection - or infection flare. Monocytes turn into cells (macrophages) that gobble up bacteria and they create cytokines in the process (did you have fever with this episode?) Usually the neutrophils are elevated during infection. Your neutros (also called granulocytes) are not elevated..and in fact are on the low side (So the monocytes have to do all the work..) Neutrophiles are constantly shooting out of the bone marrow -in some cases -almostly by the hr if they're needed for infection. They have a very short life span. But they shouldn't be consistantly depressed as they're pretty much the first line of defense at an injury (or infection ) site. Your test almost show neutropenia.. it could be from continual abx- or it could be from some other reason. Probably something you should monitor.
