So I have been struggling with quite a lot of symptoms for a while (since I was 17, I am 19 right now). My family doctor did a routine blood work and found out I am deficient in vitamin d, somewhat anemic (runs in the family) and my lymphocytes are 4.4xe9/L. I did a course of vitamin d supplements since we thought that’s what’s causing the symptoms. But my doc recently booked me with a rheumatologist and ordered a full panel to rule out other conditions.

I am confused with my results, my symptoms haven’t completely been gone but I noticed I haven’t been feeling as much pain. Not sure if this is a “remission” or I’m okay?!

BUT, my lymphocytes count is still 4.3xe9/L yet my tsh, esr, rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein are all in the normal range.

So what does the lymphocytes mean? is it high or normal? My report shows it’s high but these other tests are all normal?

Still waiting on vitamin d and ANA test.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am stilling having some symptoms but not to the extent as before.

Is there a reference range with the result? That will tell you if yours are high or within your lab's normal range.

The NHS refer us to labtestsonline for explanation of different tests.

Here is what they say about Lymphocytes
