Brief Answer:
Could be Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Detailed Answer:
Hi!
Since your esoniphils and absoulte esoniphils are high it could be due to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) which is a type of blood cancer.
I would advise you to go for a bone marrow test.
This type of blood cancer affects immature blood cells called stem cells that grow into white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
These blood cells are made in your bone marrow the spongy material inside your bones.
In AML the stem cells are abnormal and cannot grow into healthy blood cells.
Bone marrow test is done to look for immature or abnormal cells in your blood and bone marrow
Hope I have answered your query. If you have more queries I will be glad to help.
