Brief Answer:
High lymphocyte-chronic infection,other RBC indices for MCHC interpretation

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

The interpretation based on the blood report posted by you is as follows:
There is slight increase in lymphocytes.
The absolute counts of monocytes and basophils is on lower side.
Basophil is a type of white blood cell which is rarely encountered in routine blood counts in XXXXXXX
It is increased in diseases states so there is nothing to worry about low basophil absolute count.
For more information regarding lymphocytes and monocytes, you need to post the total leukocyte count also.
In general lymphocyte count is increased in chronic infections.

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is one of red cell indices.
The others being- MCV, MCH and RDW.
MCHC is slightly on lower side, however, no comment can be given in the absence of other variables.
Thus, I request you to post RBC count, hemoglobin level, MCV, MCH, RDW and peripheral blood smear examination (if done) for more information.

Thanks
Dr Shailja Puri

Brief Answer:
All blood parameters - within normal range.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
The total leukocyte count and differential leukocytes counts are within range so there is nothing to worry about.
The mild increase in lymphocytes does not signify any disease.
Similarly, the red cell indices- MCV, MCH and RDW are also within range so a slight decrease in MCHC is of no consequence.
The levels of HbA1c and average blood glucose are also within range so nothing to worry.

The blood reports are within normal range.


Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
