[|Human|] I just received a copy of my blood report in the mail. My LDL Cholesterol was high (110) which I hadn t had previously but, what I became extremely anxious about was a Low Neutrophils (38) and High Lymphs (50). II looked this up online and I m now in a state of panic. My doctor is not available by phone right now. Can you please help me out with some information and advice? Karen
[|AI|]  Hi, For better interpretation of test results I want to know-1) Age & Gender. 2) Height & weight, presence of diabetes.3) Family history of Diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol problem. 4) For what purpose blood tests done just as routine check up or any special indications.5) Any symptoms like cough, cold, fever, bleeding from any site.6) Other parameters in blood tests like hemoglobin, total white cell (leukocytes) count, platelet count, blood cell morphology, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, total cholesterol. If you don't have any symptoms then you should not worry about neutrophil and lymphocytes count and repeat complete blood count after 1 week. If symptoms like fever, cough, cold usually low neutrophils and high lymphocytes count may indicate viral infection. If there are other symptoms like fever, chronic cough, bleeding from any site, soft tissue swelling (lymph nodes) over body in that case there might be need for more detailed evaluation. Regarding LDL cholesterol of 110: in the absence of diabetes, obesity, heart problem, it won't require any medicines but requires changes in diet (low calorie & fat intake), regular exercise, weight reduction. (But other parameters like HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, total cholesterol are also important).
