I thought asking this  question ... in the past  2 years of taking CBC...all show elevated lymphocytes at 42+%..ang normal count kasi si 40% lang maximum...  i am just worried baka po may sakit na ako... na hindi ko naman alam ang cause...takot naman ako magpatingin sa doctor...any advice that you can give?

[PinoyNurse]

rpmolecule.. there at lots of reasons why people get high lymphocyte count... one could be either you have viral or bacterial infection or maybe cause by stress... but in  your case... have you tried consulting your doctor?

mukhang iba na kasi yan... 2 years? normal naman yung ibang blood differentials mo?

You may have a lymphocyte count that exceeds the typical threshold but have no disease present. Normally, doctors make a judgment about whether the count is "too high" based on other factors, such as symptoms you may be experiencing and the results of other tests such as xray, physical examination, other lab tests.

If your doctor determines your lymphocyte count is high, the test result may be evidence of one of the following conditions:

Severe viral infection
Cancer of the blood or lymphatic system
An autoimmune disorder causing ongoing (chronic) inflammation

better if you can have yourself tested.
