What Is The Deciding Factor To Know Eosinophils Are High?
What is the deciding factor to alert you that your eosinophils are high. My son in law had blood work taken and he also had blood in his urine but the hospital felt it was nothing to be concerned about. He received a copy of his blood work and the levels were 6.0 on one and 7.5 on another.

Hello,
the absolute number of eosinophils is the most important bit of information. More than 500 per microliter is higher than usual and should be investigated. Much higher numbers would be more worrisome though.
The rest of the complete blood count information has to be evaluated in parallel with the eoshinophil count. If everything is normal then a slight deviation from normal eosinophil count is likely insignificant.
The numbers you've provided cannot be evaluated because I don't know if it's a percentage (and of what total white blood cell count?) or an absolute number (what units?).
If you'd like a more detailed answer, please ask again providing all the data from the complete blood count.
I'll be glad to help!
Kind Regards!
