What Does This Blood Test Finding Indicate?
My husband has been ill for quite sometime and has just completed lab work. The lab work shows monocytes at 11.8 and eosinophils at 5.6. Platelet count is also elevated at 431. ALT is 24. We are going to see his primary care physician next week, but would like some insight to some of these readings.
