Does High Lymph Auto Mean That I Have Cancer Or Developing It ?

default
Posted on Wed, 4 Jul 2012
Question: Hi,
I have major health anxiety and just had a bunch of blood work done and should not have looked at my results. I don't think my doctor had a chance to look at them. I am concerned does the high Lymph Auto mean that I have cancer or am developing it?
I feel great and just had a physical. I am on many medications and take a pre-dibeditc med. I also have psoriasis for many years. I hope you can let me know. I wanted to know what my B-12 level was she tested it but she also tested so many other stuff that i don't know the initials mean to find the b=12 I have been having Tingling and my V-D is always low.

I just called the Dr's line but they are terrible at getting back to me. I hope you tell me some good news



but I have a question for you about two results:
these are my recent results:
Lymph Auto     44.3     20.0 - 40.0     %
Mono Auto     8.5     4.0 - 10.0     %
EOS Auto     2.1     0.0 - 6.0     %
BASO Auto     0.4     0.0 - 2.0
and these are my results back in2006 i think
     
LYMPH     49     17 - 43     %
MONO     4     4 - 12     %
EOS     3     0 - 8     %
BASO     0     0 - 1     %
PMN ABSOLUTE     2.2     1.8 - 7.7     k/ul
LYMPH ABSOLUTE     2.4     1.0 - 4.8     k/ul
MONO ABSOLUTE     0.2     0.1 - 0.7     k/ul
EOS ABSOLUTE     0.1     0.0 - 0.5     k/ul
BASO ABSOLUTE               

I can send you over more lab work if you like. I will not be able to talk with my doctor until Monday which is too long. I really wish they didn't have google or send records by email now

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

I have seen all the reports you have sent with the query.

Your lymphocyte count is only borderline raised. Such a mild rise is just a normal variation and is not suggestive of any malignancy.

I reassure you that there is nothing to be worried about regarding these results.

Since in 2006 also, such a mild rise in lymphocyte counts was present, it seems that such a minor variation is absolutely normal for your body.

All these results are interpreted in correlation with the clinical signs and symptoms.

This report does not contain Vitamin B 12 levels.

You can send me the detailed reports in case you need any more clarifications.

I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal

Answered by Dr. Dr. Praveen Tayal (2 hours later)
Hello,

Thanks for writing again.

I have read all the investigation results you have sent. All your blood reports are within normal limits and do not indicate any major disturbance.

I have reviewed all the results you sent. In fact I had taken a curbside consult from a General Physician in my group. He agrees with my advice too. So do not worry.

As far as Vitamin B 12 levels are concerned, I do not find any test suggesting its level. Severe Vitamin B 12 deficiency may cause megaloblastic anemia which is suggested by high MCV levels which off course is normal in your case. However this is not a direct evidence of Vitamin B 12 levels.

Hope my answer is helpful. Let me know if you have any more concerns.

Regards
