You have not given complete information because there is difference between low levels and abnormally low levels and also high levels and abnormally high levels. It is not necessary that a low level or high levels of any blood cell cause problem. Only abnormal values can cause problems. Neutrophils and Lymphocytes are types of whit blood cells. Abnormal low levels of WBC can cause increased risk of infection. Abnormal low levels of neutrophils can be due to (<1500) leukemia, infection of bone marrow, radiotherapy and medicines. Abnormally high levels of lymphocytes (>40%) can be due to flu, chicken pox and some viral and bacterial infection. Some types of leukemia also increase the lymphocytes. Abnormally high RDW (>14.55) is measured by MCV values. High levels of RDW and MCV can be due to liver diseases, hemolytic anemia, Vitamin B12 deficiency, thalessemia and iron deficiency.
RDW is red cell distribution width. If you have a high RDW it means you have abnormally large red blood cells. Rdw's are increased in the different types of anemias, alcohol abuse and transfusions.A high RDW can also be caused by agglutination of the blood sample, simply meaning the sample started to clot and needs to be discarded and a new blood sample needs to be drawn and the test repeated.. It can also be caused by rouleau, which is where the rbc's stack together in a sample like a roll of coins. This gives a false RDW as the automated counter counts the stacked rbcs as one big cell and not individual cells stuck together. It is the Neutrophils job to ward off infection and when you don't have enough neutrophils you are more susseptable to infections. Neutropenia, or low neutrophils ia caused by hereditary disorders, cancers, radiation exposure, Vitamin B12 or Folate deficiency, aplastic anemia, hemodialisis, and viral infections. There are different types of lymphocytes,( b- lymphs, t- lymphs, and natural killer cells) each has a different function. A high Lymphocyte count could be caused by many things, depending on how high and which lymphocyte is elevated.
I'm 20 years old, male and I checked my blood because I was having a flu and my blood test come up to be 3.2 wbc, 13.3 hemoglobin, and 6.8 rbc, my doctor order me to do another test in 3 days please someone tell me am I in danger, or what's wrong with me ????? I'm rally scare of having a leukemia
