How to check your Basophils levels with a home finger-prick blood test kit
What Is A Basophils Test For?
Basophils are a white blood cell responsible for allergic responses and fighting infections.
They should make up about 1% or less of your total white blood cell count.

What If Basophils Test Levels Are High?
An abnormally high basophil level is called basophilia. It can be a sign of chronic inflammation in your body. Or it can mean that a condition is causing too many white blood cells to be produced in your bone marrow.
If persistently high levels are maintained then further investigation is required to determine the cause.
What If Basophils Test Levels Are Low?
A low basophil level is called basopenia. It can be caused by infections, severe allergies, or an overactive thyroid gland.
