Q. Why the absolute monocytes are low in my routine blood work?
Hi doctor, I just received my routine blood work for my cholesterol count and noticed that my absolute monocytes are low, 163. Other than this, all other blood results are within normal range. My total WBC is 5.1 and monocytes 3.2%. It there a reason to be concerned? I am currently healing from a terrible fall on my deck stairs, which resulted in a massive hematoma on my buttock. Would this have anything to do with the low absolute monocyte reading? I am currently on Lotrel and Lovastatin.
