Hello, I am asking this question regarding a diagnosis my husband had from a local doctor. However, I am not sure what this diagnosis means. The doctor he saw stated he wants to test him for Lymphocytosis. My husband is 75 years old and has a few medical problems, i.e. takes Coumadin for several blood clots over the last 7-8 years (none since being on Coumadin), has severe problems spinal pain and blood flow to both legs. However, why do you think he is being tested for Lymphocytosis? Thank you very much, I appreciate your taking the time to assist me with this question. Sincerely, Lynn
Hello As you stated that your husband is taking Coumadin for blood clot. Now he is having spinal pain and blood flow to both legs. Your doctor want to see if your husband is having elevated level of lymphocytes. Your husband is having spinal pain, but diagnosis is not established, so doctor want to diagnose. There is sever spinal pain so may be due to ;1 Potts spine or spinal tuberculosis .2 Endocrine disorders3 Neoplasm or cancer. As these are the most common disorders causing elevation in lymphocytes. So need not worry as this is diagnostic procedure, so with the help of which doctor will reach at conclusion. Good luck.
