What Lymphocytes % measures
Lymphocytes are white blood cells involved in immune memory and fighting viruses. This is their share of all white cells.
If your Lymphocytes % is low
A lower share of lymphocytes often reflects a relative rise in neutrophils, as with stress or bacterial infection.
Commonly associated with
- Acute infection
- Stress
- Corticosteroids
If your Lymphocytes % is high
A higher share of lymphocytes is commonly seen with viral infections and recovery from them.
Commonly associated with
- Viral infection
- Recovery from infection
- Some chronic conditions
Typical reference range
| Group | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Adults | 14 – 46 % |
Typical adult values used by many US labs. Your own report prints the range your lab validated for its method, and that range is the one that counts. Labwise always uses the printed range first.
If it is within range
The share of lymphocytes among your white cells is typical.
