What causes elevated neutrophil count?
Patient: My absolute neutrophil count has been greater than 8000 less than 9000 for the past four months. All other blood results have been within the normal range. I have a recheck in December. How worried should I be about these levels? Is there anything dietary that I can change to help lower them? Doctor: HiThanks for askingFrom your history, findings and query, my opinion is as follows1. High neutrophii counts signify acute infection mostly bacterial, acute inflammation.2. If you are asymptomatic now, there is no need for concern as counts settle to normal range when infection subsides.Hope this helpsRegards
