Best Answer

Your body has several different lines of defense against infections. One of these is your lymphatic system. When your body is fighting off an infection, your lymphatic system helps to filter out and drain the by products. When your immune system finds an infection it sends white blood cells to kill it. These white blood cells, after being filtered by your lymphatic system are then spilled out of your body (ie, urine, fecal matter). A lab test that shows a high amount of Lymphocytes or Leukocytes, simply means that your body is fighting an infection of some kind.

Is 1 percent increased in lymphocyte count dangerous?

No. A 1% increase is negligible and could even be due to sampling or machine error. Even if it wasn't an error, and your lymphocyte count is truly elevated 1%, it isn't significant to warrant any concern. A slight increase like that can be caused by almost anything; maybe your shower was hot, maybe your orange juice was sour, maybe you stubbed your toe, maybe you were listening to a boring lecture about lymphocyte counts and how they can be elevated by almost anything...


What is lymphocytopenia?

The term "lymphocyte" can be translated to "white blood cell"--lymphocytes are just one of a few different types of white blood cells in the body. The normal lymphocyte count for an adult is between 1000 and 4800 cells per microliter; lymphocytopenia is a lymphocyte count lower than the norm. Lymphocytes are important to the human immune system, so a low lymphocyte count may mean you're more vulnerable to infection or other problems.
