Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Do These Blood Test Results For Sleeplessness And Night Sweats Indicate?
I had recent bloodwork and results revealed low WBC, low neutrophils, low absolute lymphocytes and low absolute neutrophils. Have also not been sleeping well and experiencing night time sweats, although they are mild. Thread, cholesterol and hormones were all good. I am a 48 year old healthy white female (I think).
WBC is white blood cell produced by bone marrow. Protective cell, fight against infection and provide immunity. So any factor that damage the bone marrow affects its level Normal count : 3.5-10.5 X 10 9/L But it does not tell about sleeplessness and night sweaats.
Following are the causes of Low WBC count Viral infections that temporarily disrupt the work of bone marrow Cancer that damage bone marrow Autoimmune disorders Severe infections that use up white blood cells faster than they can be produced Medications, such as antibiotics, that destroy white blood cells Sarcoidosis Aplastic anemia Chemotherapy Radiation therapy HIV/AIDS Tuberculosis (and other infectious diseases) Leukemia Lupus Rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders Malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies.
I think it may be sign of bone marrow failure. Consult the Haematoncologist and start the treatment as early as possible.
Hope this may help you. Best regards Dr, sagar
