Monocyte is also one of the white blood cells, which is the largest white blood cell in the body. The reason for the low percentage may be physiological, or it may be caused by anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, leukemia and so on.
1. Physiological: low percentage of monocytes may be caused by drinking too much water to dilute the blood.
2. Anemia: For example, in hemolytic anemia, in addition to a decrease in red blood cells and hemoglobin, there may also be a decrease in monocytes, resulting in a low percentage.
3. Myelodysplastic syndromes: Abnormal proliferation of white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets may occur in the bone marrow, with abnormal proliferation of one type of white blood cell and relatively low percentages of other types of white blood cells, e.g., lymphocytes may proliferate abnormally and the percentage of monocytes will be low, and in the later stages of the disease, the percentage of whole blood cells may be low.
4. Leukemia: If you have leukemia, especially lymphoblastic leukemia, with elevated lymphocytes, it will cause monocyte percentage to drop.
You should pay attention to rest and exercise to improve your immunity. If you feel unwell, you should consult a doctor in time for examination, and according to the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor, make a clear diagnosis and treatment.
