What Causes High Neutrophil Count And Low Monocyte Count?
I just got my WBC results in the mail and I had two flags show up. My Neutrophils were high at 76.9 and my Monocytes were low at 1.2. This was done during my yearly check-up and not experiencing any major problems. I m a 51 year old female with kids 28-9.

May I know the test reference ranges of your lab and also the units of the tests results so that I can give a better explanation. WBC are the white cells in the body. It may be high due to some infections or sometimes due to certain medications such as steroids. Occasionally , WBC may rise non specifically without any cause. You may repeat the WBC count after a week to see if they have gone back to your previous average range.
