I am sorry. This is my question: I received back my full panel of bloodwork today. I am healthy, weigh 125, exercise and walk four miles a day.
I am concerned about the monocyte level (range is up to 13, mine is 13.5). All other tests came back as normal. Do I need to be concerned about this?
Are you able to read my attachment? My WBC is 5.3

Thank you!

Brief Answer:
Infection

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but elevated monocyte level indicates an infection, however your monocyte level is just slightly elevated and since you don’t show any symptoms then there is no need to worry.. I hope you find this helpful.
