No this isn't of any concern

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

This basophil report is quite normal and I don't see any reason for concern, noting that everything else is normal.

I won't suggest any further workup based on this report.

Hope this helps.
Regards

Ok, I was concerned because I made the mistake of researching it, and of course, knowing that is not the best idea, I only saw all the bad things like CML, and other blood cancers.

So, you don't recommend that I have it repeated or anything? It's basically a very mild elevation without any other abnormals.
