Low Lymphocyte %

[qannie47]

I finally got copies of all my ds records from peds doc.

 

On 3 different blood labs, about 1 year apart, his Lymphocyte % were low each with EVERY time with high WBC counts.

 

Most recent from Childrens's a week ago still waiting on.

 

Example: 3/2103 During an episode

WBC 16.7 > range 4.5 to 11.0

Neutrophil 15.0 > range 1.8 to 11.0

Lymphocyte 4.4 > range 10 to 50

 

When I read up on Lymphocytes, it talked about low Lymphocytes can inhibit WBC from doing their "thing" in fighting off infections. It also stated that low Lymphocytes put a child in a vulnerable position to getting sick easily.

 

Does anybody have any thoughts on this. To me it is indicative to an auto-immune issue....Yet nobody every pointed this out to me.

Who is going to be answering to you for these labs including TPO ? Ped/neuro? Just curious.

PowPow, The curious thing is that the 3 sets of labs run at different times in his past and the low Lymphocytes were never even addressed.....I just realized these results yesterday when I finally received his complete medical file...it will be interesting when I get my hands on most recent labs done at Lurie's Childrens hospital 2 weeks ago. They stated that all labs were normal....

Are they the ones who did the thyroid tests?

[qannie47]

yes why? I do know thyroid came back neg. Is there a connection?

[PowPow]

Wasn't there positive TPO antibodies?

Sorry, I was not implying a connection. I just was hoping someone who is familar with HE or AE will be following this closely!
