Infection
there are two types of agranulocytes in the blood namely the monocytes and the lymphocytes.
monocytes are high in bacterial & parasitic inf.
A lower RDW is normal. Diseases, such as myelodysplastic syndrome or even acute blood loss can increase it.
Leukocytes and Monocytes
monocytes are elevated in infections like tuberculosis
Monocytes may be elevated in chronic inflammation.
An elevated RDW is a higher than normal red blood cell count. This can be brought on by a number of things, most commonly anemia. Your doctor will be able to best advise you on the appropriate course of action to take to get your red blood cells to a normal level.
Monocytes are a type of white cells that are part of the immune system. They defend the body against certain infection and contribute to the overall immune system defense. They are elevated when there is a chronic inflammation, parasitic infection, and viral infection. Cases of viral infection include, but are not limited to infectious mono-nucleosis, measles and pharyngitis.
Monocytes Absolute refers to the number of monocytes in a blood sample. Monocytes are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections. High levels of monocytes may indicate an ongoing infection, autoimmune disorder, or certain types of cancer. Further testing is usually needed to determine the underlying cause of elevated monocytes.
When you drink too much urine, it causes an increase in monocyte levels
leukemia
hepatitis
Elevated antinuclear antibodies (ANA) can indicate various autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or Sjögren's syndrome. It can also be elevated in chronic infections, certain medications, or in individuals with a family history of autoimmune disorders. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is needed to determine the underlying cause of the elevated ANA levels.
It is called mononucleosis because the virus causes unusual proliferation of monocytes in the blood.
Infection
Sedimentation rates become elevated when there is inflammation anywhere in the body.
