4. Eosinophils Has Both High Levels And Low Levels
When the test results do come out, you may find that your eosinophils levels can be either high, “normal” or low. When they are normal it means they are functioning to the best of their ability and for the body. Therefore, the focus is placed on results that show high levels of eosinophils production as well as low levels. High eosinophils levels can be a telling signal.
This is because they make up only around 5% of all the white blood cells produced by the body. As such a blood count above 500 eosinophils in a microliter of blood is deemed to be higher-than-the-norm. When this happens, it gives rise to the condition known as eosinophilia. If these numbers get to a count higher than 1,500 is called a hypereosinophilic syndrome. As already mentioned the standard count of eosinophils is between 0 and 450 as such a low-level eosinophils count is not considered to be an issue.
