A basophil percentage of 1.3% is slightly elevated. It may be a normal fluctuation, or it may be related to allergies, blood diseases and other conditions, and the details may have to be judged in conjunction with the patient’s clinical symptoms and other tests and so on.
Under normal circumstances, the reference range of basophils is between 0 and 1%. Basophils are a type of white blood cells, and increased values of basophils can be seen in allergic diseases, hematological diseases, malignant tumors, infectious diseases and so on.
1. A slight increase in basophils with no other problems in other tests is not necessarily a pathologic problem, but may be a normal physiological fluctuation.
2. If there are other problems, the diagnosis should be made in combination with the patient’s clinical manifestations, and further analysis should be made according to the results of the examination to exclude the existence of allergies, bronchial asthma, blood system diseases (such as chronic granulocytic leukemia) and other problems.
Patients found to have elevated basophils clinically are recommended to consult the hematology department of a regular hospital for a definitive diagnosis under the guidance of a physician.
