low Neutrophil count

[MB_4]

Asked Gp for all my sons paperwork.

Going through, I see that he has had a low Neutrophil count for the last 3 years at:

1.5 Range 2.00 - 7.00x 10*9/L

Low Basophil 0 Range 0.00 - 0.2010*9/L “

High Serum Albumin 52 Range 38.00 - 51.00g/L

Low Tissue transglutaminase LgA level

0.4 Range 0.00 - 10.90U/mL

The doctor hasn’t said a word.

I’m now very worried he may be fighting something sinister. Maybe thyroid related? Maybe autoimmune. I pray to god it’s not a blood disorder. Maybe Gluten intolerance?

Can anyone help please 🙏

low neutrophil often linked to autoimmune thyroid disease

I have had a very low white cell count for as long as I can remember. It has not been a problem, doctor just monitors it with three or six monthly blood tests and it goes slightly up or down. It is a part of my autoimmune. It’s chronic neutropenia.

Same here!

Hi Eton! I hope you’re doing well x

Hi I also notice that you have low platelets too. So have I, but like the neutrophils, the Dr just monitors them. They have been like this for many years so I’m hoping it’s just the way my blood is!

Hi there! Hope you’re doing ok tonight!

Thank you so much for your response, means alot x

The thing is ..the doctors haven’t even mentioned it - never mind monitored it.

I have discovered that I have low neutrophils after a blood test with Medichecks. My mother-in-law had low neutrophils too, although didn't have thyroid problems but she did have another autoimmune disease. I think low neutrophils are linked to autoimmune diseases.

Also the test for celiac showed negative.

Had he been eating lots of gluten prior to/at the time of the test? If so then negative for celiacs at this point, but some do benefit from gluten free due to the nasty effects of inflammation in general. It’s a commitment tho!
