Blood
Absolute Lymphocytes 4272
Urine
Ketones TRACE
Amorphous sediment MANY
All the oder results are in range, let me know if you need to see other things. Also, I dont know if that changes something, but I was not fasting during the day samples where taken.

Brief Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM, an absolute lymphocyte count is normal up to 3500
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM, an absolute lymphocyte count is normal up to 3500--slightly raised in your case. Commonly happens due to a viral infection.
Ketones in urine--trace. Normally ketones are produced when alternate sources of energy are utilised like from stored fats. This can happen in Diabetes, starvation, after intense exercise or sometimes it is falsely positive due to some reagents during testing process. In your case either you have exercised hard before the test or it is falsely positive. Please repeat the test after a week. If still positive, further tests may be indicated.
Amorphous sediments means crystals like urates, phosphates etc. If they are too many you are likely to have kidney stones--regards
