This subject was touched on within another post but I’d like to open up a new post and discussion about this issue please?
I thought it was coincidental that Since becoming hypothyroid due to a partial thyroidectomy, my kappa lambada neutrophil ratio has been consistently testing just below range, My gp was concerned enough to request blood tests every 4 months to keep an eye on it because it could point to a possible blood cancer
But no link was made to this and my hypothyroidism and so I was very interested to read that some others on this forum have a low neutrophil count too ….,
Please could you share your experiences of this ? Is it anything to worry about?
I am feeling well now on my combined dose of T4 and T3 . MyTSH is below range since beginning T3 but the neutrophils were also below range when my TSH was within range. I’m not feeling any symptoms .
Looking forward to reading of your experience with this.

I have Hashimotos. I am on Levothyroxine. My Neutrophil count dropped for first time ever March this year as did my total White Blood Cell count which was below range. I did not have an infection or unwell at the time of blood test.
My GP requested another blood test a month later and my Neutrophil count increased as did my White Blood Cells but they are still below the reference range. GP said this is satisfactory.
At the same time I noticed on blood test result I had 0.3% nucleated red blood cells. Something adults shouldn't have as I understand it. On pointing this out to GP he wasn't bothered.
I have no idea why my Neutophil count has lowered but I feel with nucleated red blood cells it may be to do with my B12 deficiency at cellular level which at the moment the NHS have difficulty acknowledging.
I have had below range neutrophils for many years and am monitored quarterly by GP. I also suspect I was hypo for many years before I started levo and I do wonder if there is a link.
