Lymphocytes Testing
How to check your Lymphocytes levels with a home finger-prick blood test kit
What Is A Lymphocytes Test For?
A Lymphocytes test is also known as a B and T Cells test.
Lymphocytes should make up approximately 25% of your total white blood cell count.
They exist in two main forms: B cells and T cells, the numbers of which increases in the presence of infection.

4.1% of people tested have Lymphocytes levels which are too low.
And 3.9% have levels that are too high.
The average Lymphocytes result is 2.2 x10^9/L
Note what is normal for you may differ for your age and gender.
Men tend to have lower Lymphocytes in their blood than women.
As many as one in twenty-two men tested have low levels of Lymphocytes
92.0%
of people have Lymphocytes blood levels in the normal range. Do you?
Are you in the 92.0% with normal results?
What If Lymphocytes Test Levels Are High?
High blood levels of lymphocytes often indicates the presence of infection or inflammation, as is typical when your body is dealing with a condition. Temporary increases in lymphocyte blood levels are common when you have had:
- recent infection (especially viral)
- chronic medical conditions that cause inflammation such as arthritis or autoimmune disorders
- a severe medical illness, such as trauma, or have had your spleen removed
- a reaction to a new medication
Additional blood tests and a clinical investigation is required to determine the cause.
What If Lymphocytes Test Levels Are Low?
Lymphocytopenia is the term given for a lower than normal number of lymphocytes in the blood.
The most common cause of decreased lymphocyte blood levels are viral infections and nutrition, but many disorders can also cause lymphocytopenia.
Additional blood tests and a clinical investigation is required to determine the cause.
