What Causes High Homocystemia And Lymphocytes?
Hello. I recently had blood work done. I ve always have been low on potassium, vitamin D, and I have anemia. I have a history of dvt s and I must take folic acid for the rest of my life because I was found to have homocystemia. I felt so at peace being on xarelto because I live in constant fear of getting another blood clot. But the doctor s don t recommend me being on blood thinners at this time because they feel the risk outweighs the benefits. I m only 38 and nonsmoker. I have elevated mthfr gene. My mother has the same high homocystemia with h\O dvt also. My blood work came back ok with the exception of RBC (L) at 4.13 and lymph% (auto) high at 45.5. Is there anything I should be concerned of regarding these results as well as my doctors not feeling I m a candidate for lifetime blood thinners? Thank you.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your lymphocytes count is slightly high but no need to worry about that.
You have homocysteinemia. So there is high chance of blood clotting. You should take blood thinner like warferin to aviid blood clotting. It has chance of bleeding if its blood level is increased. So risk of bleeding and clotting should be taken into account and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
