Rising Lymphocytes

[Fant1924]

About 6 months back I asked that a steroid be administered prior to IVIG that I receive every 4 weeks. Coincidentally, my lymphocytes began to rise and are now in the 90%+ range. Wondering whether others may have experienced a similar result?

thanks,

Hi Dennis,

Just to be certain, by "90%+ range", do you mean 90%+ of the reference range of lymphocytes? The reference range varies by pathology lab, but it's typically 1.0 to 3.5. I wouldn't be all that concerned if your lymphocyte count is approaching 3.5, given steroids can boost lymphocyte counts but you could ask your doctor to arrange an immunophenotype blood test to check the individual counts of the different lymphocytes that are in your count and whether the B lymphocytes show any clonality (CLL present).
