What a high Absolute Lymphocyte Count, Blood means, and common causes

The actual number of lymphocytes is above range, which is more reliable than the percentage because it does not shift when other cell counts change.

Common causes: Viral infections, tuberculosis, whooping cough, and in older adults chronic lymphocytic leukaemia when persistently high.

What a low Absolute Lymphocyte Count, Blood means, and common causes

The number of lymphocytes is below range, which weakens the immune response when marked.

Common causes: Severe infection including COVID, steroid medicines, HIV, malnutrition, chemotherapy, and chronic kidney disease.
