Patient's question:
The child's complete blood count shows:Neutrophil percentage: 30.7
Lymphocyte percentage: 59.9
Hemoglobin concentration: 34.7
Mean corpuscular volume: 77.8
Red blood cell distribution width standard deviation: 33.8
Total bilirubin: 4.16
Alkaline phosphatase: 218.2
Is this serious?
Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the illness and the blood routine test results of your child, it appears that the percentage of neutrophils in the child has decreased, and the percentage of lymphocytes has also dropped. This finding doesn't indicate anything significant. According to your description of the illness, since the test values for white blood cells, neutrophils, and other parameters in your child are all normal, it proves that your child does not currently have a bacterial or viral infection and there is no problem. The abnormal values in the other test results also don't indicate anything significant, as they are not the main test data. You, as parents, don't need to worry too much—there is nothing to be concerned about.
