Question: hi, I am 12 weeks pregnant and had a lymphocyte relative value of 12.6. my neutrophil was a bit on the high side while my lymphocyte absolute was completely normal. I am dealing with some nerve and back pain currently due to an L-4, L5 injury. should I be concerned about this low value?

Brief Answer:
Not worrisome.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The relative decrease in lymphocyte value is not worrisome if your absolute count is in normal limits. The rise in neutrophil percentage can be due to inflammation caused by the injury you had recently. This is a normal variation in these circumstances. It will improve on its own in next few weeks.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
