Basophils in the blood are elevated, lowered the rate in women, adults over the age of the child. Table that is, functions

Norma basophils in the blood of men, women and children It is different, as it varies according to age due to natural physiological processes. To understand the essence of these processes need to be aware of the role and functions of this part of the blood plasma.

What is basophils. The role and function in the body

Basophils call one of the few components of white blood cells. They are produced as a result of bone marrow activity and belong to a subspecies of granulocytic white blood cells. Their number in comparison with the other components is minimal. To read the results of the analysis of basophil level is calculated as the amount of white blood cells in the composition, expressed as a percentage.

Basophils after ripening for 4-5 hours free to move around the human body, and then deposited in the tissues. Their term of life is 8-12 days. Basophils are "reconnaissance cells", responsible for the detection and deactivation of alien microparticles caught up in the human body. The composition of basophils include heparin, histamine and serotonin.

When the foreign particle detecting these substances fall into granules and block it. It starts the inflammatory process which flock all leukocyte groups for cleansing the body.

Moreover themselves basophils can not protect the body from foreign body or infection, their task detection and alarm the other cells. When locked pest basophil cells die due to the destruction of the granules containing active substances that help identify the bacteria.

Basophils prevent allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock. They are also partially affect the process of blood clotting, blood flow within small blood vessels and are responsible for the formation of new capillaries.

Among the most important functions of basophils released neutralization toxins got into the circulatory system of the person. These include not only toxins from food poisoning, but the venom from insect bites, snakes and animals.

By the number of basophils and their corresponding indicators general rules draw conclusions about the level of human health.
norm

Basophils in the blood (the rate in women over the age has different values) in medical practice are measured in 2 categories:

• % VA - basophil percentage of total volume of leukocytes;
• BA # - absolute quantitative value (g / L).

Reference number of basophils varies by age and gender:

• in adults is considered normal if the first index in the range of 0-1%. When the decoding performance analysis rate in women of different age groups is not stable, it is constant in men. In absolute terms, this figure ranges from 0-0.2 * 10⁹g / L;
• children rate ranges from 0.5% to 0.75%. This value is stable. Closer to 1 year, it is reduced to 0.5% and then gradually increased. By 12-14 years the rate is correct adult.

The systematic increase in the level of basophils in the blood called basophils. Most often this is a sign of an allergic reaction or inflammation process in the body. Reduced rate called basophils bazopeniey. The reasons for its difficult to assess because of the rather low index lower.

Reasons for the increase of basophils

With increasing levels of basophils, it is first necessary to conduct a general examination and diagnosis, as there are many reasons to increase the percentage of their content in the blood.

Main reasons:

• The body's response to allergens.
• Blood cancer processes, broncho-pulmonary system.
• Long-term inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.
• Hodgkin's disease.
• Acute hepatitis accompanied by jaundice.
• Hypothyroidism.
• Chicken pox.
• Infectious diseases of the liver.
• Dermatitis or chronic sinusitis.
• Batch production of small doses of radiation.
• Therapy hormones, mainly estrogen-type and antithyroid.
• Deviations in the endocrine system and the pancreas.
• Poisoning by toxic substances.
• Iron deficiency.

Normal, not serious, it is considered to be a slight increase in volume during the basophils rehabilitation after diseases of an infectious nature, after images of X-ray apparatus and during menstruation.

Also accounts for the increase may serve elementary impreparation patient for the procedure fence material for study. Fence material produced in the morning on an empty stomach. One day prior to analysis should not drink alcohol or abandon exercise.

The reasons for lowering

Basophils in the blood (the rate in women over the age depends not only on natural phenomena in the body, but also against pregnancy) at reduced rates do not always symbolize a sign of illness. Women are in a position not to worry, because for 1 and 3 terms it is a common occurrence.

In other cases, the lowering of influence:

• Systematic stress.
• Pneumonia.
• Various infections.
• Pathology of the adrenal glands.
• Excessive exercise.
• Ovulation.

And reduced rates observed in the exposure of the body with chemotherapy and hormonal therapy.

Signs of abnormality

There are several signs that you need to pass a general full blood count, including on basophils.

It is necessary to reflect on the specialist advice, if any:

• Constant feeling of weakness and fatigue.
• Uncontrolled loss of appetite and weight.
• Unreasonable jumps in body temperature.
• Pallor and sweating.
• Pain in the joints.
• Enlarged lymph nodes.
• Uncaused appearance of bruises on the skin.
• Problems with a chair.
• Liver problems.
• Dizziness, and transient fainting.
• The appearance of shortness of breath with the slightest physical exertion.

Such reasons may accompany many diseases. In this situation, a blood test will more accurately diagnose disease and prescribe the correct treatment.

The danger of high and low concentrations basophils

The increase in basophils speaks of the manifestation of severe inflammation or allergic reactions, Diseases of the blood and internal organs. Reducing the volume leads to a weakening immune disorder of the endocrine system and the blood of the production process.

For this reason, all the non-conformity of men, women and children, in addition to those that are caused by age-related factors and physiology, disclose violations of bodily functions. Identifying the causes of deviations in the initial period of the disease helps to avoid severe consequences of the disease or bring it to the stage of stable compensation.

Indications for examination

Analyzes on basophils is recommended to take in case of:

• Examinations before surgical procedures.
• Allergic reactions.
• Diagnosis of inflammatory processes.
• Prolonged elevated body temperature.
• If necessary, determine the efficacy of drugs used.
• Routine medical examination.

Usually analysis on basophils is not carried out separately, the indicators included in the full blood count.

To obtain reliable results of the study need to properly prepare for blood sampling:

• last meal no later than 20:00 of the previous day;
• eliminate from the diet of fat-containing products, as well as alcohol for 3 days prior to the date;
• eliminate physical activity the day before delivery;
• not to use tobacco on the date of analysis.

Methods of determining the level of basophils

The most commonly used method for determining the levels of basophils in the blood - is the WBC.

The method is based on counting 100 cells white blood cells and their composition in percent by species:

• Lymphocytes.
• Monocytes.
• Neutrophils.
• Eosinophils.
• Basophils, and so on.

That is to say, carried out a microscopic analysis of blood smear. Another method of determining the level of basophils, which is quite often used. We are talking about a hematology analyzer is a special equipment for laboratories, specifying the number of granulocytes.

deciphering research

basophils indicators are part of the KLA.

Its interpretation is as follows:

• Hemoglobin - supplies oxygen to the cells and found in red blood cells. Lowering its level leads to hypoxia.
• erythrocytes - red blood cells. The main function is defined as the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
• ESR - erythrocyte sedimentation rate, rate increase indicates the presence of inflammation, decrease indicates a weakening of the immune system.
• leukocytes - the white blood cells of different species. The main objective - the protection of the body against infections and viruses.
• lymphocytes - increase the protective functions of the body and prevent the growth of pathogenic cells.
• basophils - one of the groups of white blood cells - detects and blocks harmful microbes in the body.
• eosinophils - respond to the development of allergies and tumors.
• neutrophils - neutralize the bacteria through their absorption, digestion and self-destruction.
• platelets - are responsible for blood clotting, etc.

All the figures obtained are compared with generally accepted norms, and the detection of deviations designate more in-depth research. Basophils in the blood (the rate in women over the age of permits small deviations) have relatively stable performance.

For women:

age	BA%
18-65	0,5-0,9
65	0,5-1

In children:

Age	BA%
newborns	0,75
1-3 months	0,5
1-12 years	0,5-0,6
Over 12 years	0,5

In men, the reference is considered an indicator of 0.5-1%.

Drug treatment

In identifying the cause of deviation basophils level prescribed drugs that promote recovery from the disease, which has become a cause of this increase.

Upon detection of allergies, doctors recommend possible to eliminate interaction with allergens both natural and artificial, as well as prescribe antihistamine drugs facilities.

If occasion raising basophils steel inflammatory processes, the main therapy is the administration of antibiotics. In severe diseases and tumors can only help the surgery, up to a bone marrow transplant. But sometimes deviations are detected in healthy individuals.

Elevated levels

In this case, it is recommended to take vitamin B12. It can be administered as injections. Vitamin B12 is actively involved in hematopoiesis and ensures the normal functioning of the brain.

Appointed by the iron-containing drugs. Also, drugs that reduce the activity of basophils and neutralizing their reaction to allergens, such as adrenaline, crocin extract Japanese mountaineer, extract bulligny Natalensisa.

Under reduced level

Specially designated drugs at such a deviation not. Since the lowering of basophils in the blood most often caused by stressful situations, then appointed sedatives, preparations strengthening immunity.

Lowering the levels of basophils it can sometimes be caused by hormonal drugs from corticosteroids category, and to normalize the indicators enough to stop taking these agents.

If the decrease is caused by malfunction of the endocrine system or the development of pathologies prescribed medication relieves these diseases. Methods of treatment is determined after complex examination and diagnostic underlying cause.

Treatment of folk remedies

Basophils in the blood (the rate in women over the age shall be subject to systematic monitoring) can be corrected and with traditional medicine. It should be remembered that the treatment at home will never replace specialist consultation and treatment, and may also have irreversible consequences.

But if the inspection showed no major abnormalities, and the difference compared with the norm rather insignificant, you can use folk remedies.

At a high level, basophils must enter into the diet of iron-containing products, such as:

• liver;
• beans;
• beef;
• Garnet;
• beets;
• seafood;
• fish.

Think about the menu and diet of these products is quite common not make much effort. However, be aware that some foods are better to eat separately, as together they prevent the absorption of iron, such as meat and milk, beans and milk. You can also diversify the diet of fruits and vegetables containing vitamins of group B.

At a reduced level for the prevention of stress, you can use a variety of soothing herbal teas instead of the usual tea and coffee.

For example:

• equal parts of herbs Leonurus, horsetail and knotweed grind, brew and drink 30 ml 3 times a day before meals;
• at night brew the infusion of mint, lemon balm and chamomile in equal parts, to take during the day in a diluted form.

You can take special soothing tincture of herbs, such as tincture of motherwort, peony, valerian. The composition of these infusions include ethyl alcohol and abuse is dangerous to health.

Also it should be possible to avoid stressful situations, more than a walk in the fresh air and take a sun bath, doing things you love to get a charge of positive emotions.

Can be added to the diet of foods rich in vitamins and minerals, eat more fruits and vegetables. There are special supplements on the basis of plants and vitamins that promote and enhance immunity.

Prognosis and complications

Basophils are a type of white blood cells and belong to a group of elements responsible for the normal operation of immunity. Ignoring deviations from performance standards contributes to the development of serious diseases and pathologies.

White blood cells are responsible for the purity of blood in the body, and respond to foreign particles in it. Often this is accompanied by itching, inflammation and fever. Long-term high temperature leads to disturbances in the body, which is fraught with serious consequences.

You may miss the step of curing diseases such as leukemia, poisoning, toxic substances, diabetes, helminth infection. In children, it can lead to delayed mental and physical development.

In time to understand the reason of increase of basophils in the blood and prevent the development of disease with serious consequences should:

• eliminate bad habits and eat healthy food;
• give the body enough rest;
• not start and finish the cure colds;
• time to treat viral and infectious diseases;
• to avoid any stress;
• undergo periodic preventive examinations by specialists and take a complete blood count.

Basophilia most often seen in the background of any diseases, many of which are chronic. To restore the optimal amount of basophils doctor usually appoints the complex therapy to treat the disease, which has become the root cause of the deviation from the norm.

Bazopeniya is not as common as basophils, and to restore the standard in this case, therapy is mainly aimed at enhancing immunity.

In identifying deviations from the norm should not engage in self-diagnosis, and it is better to get professional advice, which will assign the appropriate treatment. Neglect the need to control the level of basophils in the blood should not be at any age, because of the fact that he is one of the indicators of women's health.
