Does The Test Results Indicate Leukemia?
I am 51 year old female, 5'8" and 128lb. I have had high wbc count for two years. Now lymphocytes are 12, absolute lymph is 72%. I have low neutrophil and smudge cells are present. The only thing I can find on smudge cells is CLL. Does it sound like I have leukemia?

Welcome to H.C.M.I am Dr Krishna Dubey.
Dear friend I am sorry to say that ,your age, High lymphocytes with 2 years duration and smudge cell are suggesting that you are suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
But for confirmation of Diagnosis Peripheral blood flow cytometry is the most valuable test .I advise you for this flow Cytometry to remove all doubts.
Thanx for query.All the best.
