“CBC explanation?”
My daughter has had 2 cbc checks done in 6 days. Her doctors keep brushing it off. I need to know if the areas that are abnormal are cause for concern. The first lab set was done on 1/12/2022. Lymphocyte % was 61.1% reference range is 10.0-60.0. Granulocytes/100 Leukocytes was 30.3% normal range is 37.0-80.0. All other values on cbc were normal that day. The next set was done on 1/18/2022. Lymphocyte% was 63.8% range is 10.0-60.0. Granulocytes/100 Leukocytes was 27.9% range is 37.0-80.0. Platelet Mean value was 393 range is 150-350. RDW was 10.8% range is 11.0- 16.0. All other values are normal. She also has swollen lymph nodes and is getting nose bleeds. She is a 2 years of age female and was born at 36 weeks gestation.

Lymphocytes: 6.1% Range 10.0 – 60. Granulocytes 100 Leukocytes 30.3%, range is 37.0-80.0. What it means is that there is a mild infection and that’s why those values are minimally elevated. Now, if the child gets a high fever, and becomes irritable, please take the child to the emergency room after calling your pediatrician. Toddlers usually get mild infections while building their immune system. Keep in contact with your pediatrician.
WBC = white blood cells: (LEUKOCYTES) Most of the time indicates that you are fighting infection or inflammation. Normal range is 4,500 to 11,000 WBCs per microliter (4.5 to 11.0 x 109/L).
There are three major classifications of WBCs. The main purpose of WBCs is to recognize intruders.
• Monocytes – They have a longer lifespan than other WBCs. They help to break down bacteria.
• Lymphocytes – They create antibodies to fight against bacteria, viruses, and other invaders to the body.
• Granulocytes – They kill and digest bacteria, fungi, and many other things. Neutrophils, Eosinophils, and Basophils are a subset of granulocytes. Basophils are mainly responsible for allergens. Eosinophils are responsible for parasitic infections. Thank you.
