Hello and welcome to HCM,
The CBC report shows elevated number of lymphocytes.
The current CBC has to be compared with previous CBC.
If there is elevation of lymphocyte count and total white blood cell counts, there is possibility of CLL relapse.
CLL relapse is also characterised by increase in white blood cell count, increase in leukocyte count, anemia, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy and / or thrombocytopenia.
If any of the above mentioned features are present, there is suspicion of relapse.
Consult your treating doctor at the earliest.
Thanks and take care
