Brief Answer: Considerations. Detailed Answer: Hello and thanks for the query. Do you happen to have a full copy of the complete blood count. would like to review the additional data therein. I don't see an obvious disorder here but this does need to be followed. You have mild elevation of lymphocyte and neutrophil count which an sometimes indicate a hematological issue. If the WBC count remains elevated a hematologist may request a flow cytometry study to see if there are any abnormal circulating blood cells. Your doctor might also request a mutation analysis to screen for some mutations which can trigger abnormal blood counts. Please upload the additional data if you have this available for discussion. Sincerely, Dr Galamaga
