Increased lymphocytes in the blood of women. The reasons after 50 years in pregnant women. The norm for age, treatment

Reasons for the increase in blood lymphocytes in women can be very different. The first step is to figure out what kind of role to play for them throughout the body. Lymphocytes - blood cells that play a major role immunostimulatory, they activate the body's in the fight against alien viruses and bacteria.

Norma blood lymphocytes in women over the age of

Due to various physiological reasons for the content of these cells in the blood of a woman's body is different and depends on it for several reasons:

• age;
• hormonal imbalance, pregnancy;
• presence of virus or bacteria in the body;
• severe trauma, fractures;
• prolonged emotional or physical stress;
• carry-forward operation;
• chronic disease.

There are certain rules in percentage or share content, depending on the age group are specific to women.

Age	of lymphocytes %	of lymphocytes U. \ n
up to 1 year	40 – 70%	to 9.6 Bln.
from 1 year to 5 years	35 – 60%	8 billion.
from 5 to 10 years	30 – 50%	7 to Bln.
from 10 to 15 years	30 – 47%	up to 5.5 billion.
from 15 to 20 years	30 – 40%	up to 4.9 billion.
after 20 years	20 – 37%	up to 4.8 billion.
after 30 years	20 – 40%	to 4.6 Bln.
after 40 years	20 – 40%	to 4.6 Bln.
after 50 years	18 – 20%	to 4.6 Bln.
after 60 years	18 – 20%	to 4.5 Bln.

As can be seen from the table, the level of lymphocytes decreases with age, but there are situations in which violations occur regardless of age standards.

What happens with increasing level of lymphocytes

Since lymphocytes are the primary protectors of the body, a sudden increasing their blood levels may indicate the following processes:

• Infectious, bacteriological, viral or autoimmune disease.
• Severe chronic disease or cancer.
• Allergy.
• Strong emotional turmoil.
• Disruptions in the endocrine system.
• Splenectomy.

Increased lymphocytes in the blood of women and the reasons for such changes occur, always due to the presence of a foreign "agent" and the need to fight it. Sometimes, however, the body activates the immune strength for a speedy recovery.

Lymphocyte cells are divided into several types, each of which performs specific functions:

• recognition of foreign antigens;
• production of protein antibodies that begin an active struggle with the disease;
• stimulation of immunity;
• control the number of antibodies produced;
• identification and elimination of non-normal body cells, such as cancer.
• memorizing structure of healthy cells, in order to further distinguish them.

All these activities are carried out in - lymphocytes, T - lymphocytes and of NK - cells, so by increasing their level in the female body is an active struggle.

Reasons for the increase of lymphocytes in women

The main objective of lymphocytes - is the protection of the infected cells or cancer cells. They (lymphocytes) have the ability to recognize and counteract dangerous antibodies in a body. The increase in the number of such protective agents in the blood is called - lymphocytosis. Developing this condition due to certain abnormalities developing in the body of a sick patient.

Elevated lymphocytes in the blood of women, the causes of which may be disclosed only for complex examination - are the main signal following possible conditions described hereinafter.

genital tuberculosis

The culprit of the disease is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it can remain viable for a long time. The body tubercle bacillus can spread to the blood stream and then based in appendages.

Once introduced into the body, the bacteria can live in it for years, waiting for optimal conditions for reproduction. Lowered immunity - this is the most opportune time to attack the body. Settling in the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries coli provokes inflammation and death of tissue may also occur suppuration or formation of hillocks on the mucous membranes.

Among the specific symptoms are noted:

• infertility;
• violation of the cycle;
• painful periods;
• long-term inflammation of the appendages;
• a small but persistent fever.

Together with analyzes of blood, urine, and pelvic ultrasound gynecologist must be assigned to appropriate treatment and supportive therapy.

Infection of brucellosis

Another possible reason for the sharp increase of lymphocytes in the blood of women - brucellosis. Infection occurs due to penetration of microorganisms called brucellosis by consumption of contaminated food - meat, milk or direct contact with sick animals.

This infection belongs to the category of zoonotic, based and can be transmitted to humans by:

• sheep;
• cows;
• camels;
• dogs;
• pigs;
• forest hares, deer, foxes, elks;
• goats.

Thus transmitting the disease are domestic animals and pets, wild animals, usually prey. In addition to the consumption of contaminated food infections can be purchased after the wearing of affected wool, in direct contact with the patient or animal to prolonged exposure field walking dogs

The main symptoms of infection:

• short-term, but high elevation of body temperature.
• Swollen lymph nodes, liver and spleen.
• The pain and body aches, loss of appetite and weakness.
• Fever, skin rash, pain in the joints of the lower extremities.
• At long stay in the body of infection can affect internal organs and systems.

In the case of a positive result for brucellosis therapist treatment is prescribed antibiotics and further preventive measures.

Diseases of the adrenal glands

Increased lymphocytes in the blood of women, the causes of which may be lurking in diseases of the glands located above the kidneys, often observed in lesions of the adrenal gland, tumor formation.

Developing processes in the glands are always accompanied by such phenomena as:

• pain in the digestive organs in the absence of specific disease or injury.
• Hormonal disorders.
• The accumulation of fat in the face, neck, upper back and the sternum.
• Changing the color, until the bluish tint and thinning to the vascular lumen.
• The development of diabetes, exhaustion muscle infarction, osteoporosis.
• On the background of hormonal disorders often arise polyuria, nocturia, increased production of adrenaline and sudden jumps in blood pressure.

The diagnosis in this case sets an endocrinologist, and then you must immediately begin to therapy.

Stress

Increased lymphocytes in the blood of women, the causes of which lie in the experiences stress, can be distinguished by the following features:

• in the composition of the blood changes are temporary.
• Analysis was preceded by a complicated operation, a strong emotional shock.
• Susceptibility of the patient's physical exhaustion or heavy loads, overcooling or overheating of the body.

Such conditions are temporary in nature and virtually no danger throughout the body, lymphocytes level returns to normal after the stimuli and natural exception recuperation.

hormonal imbalance

Most often on the hormonal level failure may be due to the development of such reasons as:

• Pregnancy.
• The natural processes occurring in the body of a woman related monthly update endometrial cancer.

  

• The development of tumor pathologies tissues and internal organs.

In identifying lymphocytosis in the background levels of hormones violations should determine the cause of failure and take steps to remove them if they are a danger to the body.

Smoking

In the presence of long tobacco composition according to the blood can undergo changes due to the need of the immune system to defend themselves against the harmful effects of neurotoxins. In addition to the suffering of the immune and nervous system of the body smoking women as well as it affects the level of pulmonary leukocytes.

Due to the regular consumption of cigarettes in the body develop favorable conditions for the emergence of chronic diseases and cancer, proved a direct connection of smoking and atherosclerosis. Even with the smoking cessation rate of lymphocytes is bouncing back more than 3 months.

Mononucleosis

Epstein-Barr virus - a disease of an infectious nature that is the hallmark of a targeted attack against the B - lymphocytes. These cells are able to recognize foreign and develop antibodies. Thus infected cells begin to fight against infection and against themselves.

The most important features, which differs infectious mononucleosis are:

• fever;
• swollen lymph nodes in the oral cavity, pharynx and nasal.
• spleen and liver damage, up to rupture.

Since the infectious agent refers to viruses of the herpes family, it is often Mononucleosis is accompanied by the development of dangerous diseases such as:

• diabetes;
• lupus erythematosus;
• arthritis of the joint, which is characterized by the development of both parts of the body.

Against the background of changes and acquired pathology of the blood, which is reflected in an increase in the number of lymphocytes.

Whooping cough

Infectious disease, which is characterized by bouts of coughing inherent spasmodic nature. It is passed in close contact with the patient, and the causative agent is a bacterium - pertussis coli.

Mandatory features of the development and course of the disease are:

• dry cough, moderate;
• rhinitis, accompanied by viscous mucus;
• with long-term course of the disease is aggravated by coughing it becomes spazmoobraznym comes attacks;
• attacks occur mainly in the morning and evening hours.

Determined disease sputum smear analysis and pharyngeal mucosa, treatment should be administered after consulting a pulmonary and radiological examination.

Blood cancer

This is a fatal disease characterized by the uncontrolled multiplication of white blood cells and their accumulation in the bone marrow and blood.

For this type of cancer are characterized by two forms:

• Leukemia.
• Lymphoma.

Characteristics that occur in cancer:

• poor blood clotting;
• increase in bleeding;
• sweating at night;
• weakened immunity;
• infectious diseases, developing on the background of pathology, often turning into chronic.
• nausea, aching joints, severe weight loss, shortness of breath.

Leukemia can occur in an acute or chronic stage, for each prediction of further disease progression and survival prognosis are different.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)

This stage is characterized by loss of B - lymphocytes, acute leukemia, they just do not have time to develop to the level of protective cells.

Key features of ALL:

• chronic intoxication of the organism;
• weakness, weight loss;
• enlarged liver and spleen;
• decrease in filtering properties of the liver;
• increase in peripheral lymph nodes in size;
• decreased immunity.

Against the backdrop of an active education lymphoblasts lymphocytes is not developed, very often there are a variety of infectious diseases, central nervous system.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia

This oncology poses a risk not only the essence of the disease, but also the hidden nature of the flow. It is very difficult to diagnose in the early stages and often the disease progresses and develops a long time. Symptoms typical of the chronic form of the same as for any other forms of blood cancer.

Increased lymphocytes in the blood of women, the causes of which lie exactly in the development of leukemia, it reveals a complete blood count, in addition to a pathology characterized by a low level of platelets and red blood cells. In addition to the blood test is carried out sampling of cerebrospinal fluid, MRI, ultrasound and CT scans permit an assessment of limfouzlovoy system.

Graves' disease - Bazetova

For this thyroid disease is characterized by the following features:

• sleep disturbance;
• mood swings;
• long-term depression, tearfulness;
• arrhythmia, chest pain;
• metabolic disorder and heat transfer.

Graves 'disease - Bazetova or Graves' disease is classified as an autoimmune disease that develops under the influence of the following factors:

• trauma of the cranium and brain;
• strong psychological shock;
• infectious - inflammatory diseases of the nasopharynx.

Externally, the patient distinguished by the presence of goiter and eye proceeds besides the excess thyroid function triggers the formation of large amounts of thyroid hormone.

Poisoning

Pathological state resulting in disruption of the internal systems or individual organs in the body due to exposure to bacteria, toxins or poisons.

In medicine, to distinguish between the following types of poisoning:

• Food poisoning.
• Heavy metal poisoning.
• gassing.
• Overdose of drugs or alcohol.
• Entering the esophagus acids or alkalis.
• Eating poisonous plants or fungi.
• Poison other chemicals.

Among the characteristic signs of intoxication include:

• vomiting and diarrhea;
• weakness, dizziness;
• raising the temperature;
• dehydration.

For any of these cases are characterized by activation of the body's own immune system and as a consequence of increasing the number of lymphocytes in the patient's blood.

Side effects of medications

In addition to the natural protective functions of the body are able to induce lymphocytosis and some types of medication, such as:

• phenytoin
• chloramphenicol
• valproic acid
• Narcotic analgesics series

Lymphocytosis in this case is relative and is caused by a long-term use or drug self illiterate.

Splenectomy

Surgery on the results of which will be removed by the spleen show a number of cases:

• injury, organ gap;
• pathological increase in size;
• HIV infection;
• leukemia tumor or tumors in the body cavity.

Since the spleen is an organ are actively involved in hematopoiesis and its filtration, after removing her body needs some time to recover. As a consequence, during this period the level of lymphocytes is overpriced.

Why lymphocytes increased during pregnancy

In the normal flow of pregnancy permissible level of lymphocytes is kept at 18 - 40% excess sorokaprotsentnogo barrier is a disease and evidence of the development of lymphocytosis pregnant.

The major danger is that lymphocytes developing fetus perceived as potentially malicious object of - the presence of paternal genes; the result can be the beginning of the struggle, provoking rejection of the child, and miscarriage.

The reasons for which the level of lymphocytes in the blood of a pregnant woman can also be upgraded are in stock infectious disease, viral or oncological nature, in such cases, the need for adequate treatment.

In the absence of pathological processes of change in the level of white blood cells occurs in the direction of decreasing, as the immune system during pregnancy significantly reduced.

What analysis helps to determine the level of lymphocytes in the blood

In order to determine the quantity of lymphocytes is carried out general biochemical blood analysis. Before delivery of the material should be to prepare the body and eliminate all sorts of activities that contribute to changes in blood composition. This applies to physical activity, consumed drinks and food, emotional state.

On the eve of a visit by a laboratory blood sampling should sleep well and abandon breakfast. The analysis is taken from the finger, after which a transcript of his message and the result of the patient.

Survey Preparation

Reasons for which the lymphocytes in the blood of women increased, there is a large number, but to determine the increase in their number can be using a common blood test.

In just a few days prior to the sampling should follow some rules:

• Exclude severe physical and emotional stress.
• Sticking to a diet which excludes fatty, sugary, salty and smoked foods and carbonated drinks, alcohol.
• Minimize the use of tobacco or stop altogether.
• Renounce the use of drugs, with the exception of essential drugs.

Immediately prior to the analysis:

• Light dinner for 3 - 4 hours before bedtime.
• Donating blood should be strictly on an empty stomach, eliminate morning tea and coffee.
• Abandon massage, acupuncture, reflexology, an X-ray.

Subject to these simple recommendations analysis will yield a reliable result.

How to take the analysis as wait for answers

Blood sampling is performed as a laboratory physician of the ring finger, the optimal time considered the morning from 07:00 to 11:00. For better blood inflow pre-puncture site should be lightly mash.

Another method is to take samples from a vein, such a method is used in case of need to obtain a quick result. However, this method requires blood volume at least 5 ml., Otherwise there is a danger of inaccurate conclusions. Obtained as a conventional method assays are usually prepared from 1 to 3 days.

Deciphering the analysis results

Total blood chemistry is able to give information on the size of the main elements, and also helps to assess the level of lymphocytes. Depending on the age of the patient's physician may conclude that elevated, reduced or normal level of white blood cells.

In identifying the increased number of lymphocytes are assigned additional tests in order to identify the reasons for changes.

Lymphocytic analysis is performed under the microscope during inspection technician counts the number of visible cells is based on 100 thus resulting value is calculated in percentage. There is also an automatic calculation of blood cells by the analyzer.

The results are recorded in a special form in which the values ​​obtained are compared with the conventional standards. Acceptable values ​​for women are different depending on the age, they are listed in the table above. The excess of the norm by more than 10% indicates the presence in the body of disease processes.

treatment with drugs

Depending on the cause lymphocytosis provoked the patient should be assigned to drug treatment, there are the following options:

• In identifying the infectious agent used antiviral and antibacterial agents: Flemoklav, Amoxiclav, Ingaverin, Grippferon, Interferon.
• In case of poisoning and intestinal infections: Bifidumbacterin, Enterofuril, Enterol.
• Allergic reactions: Citrine, Zodak, nasal sprays with antihistamine effect.
• In the case of cancer detection methods are used chemotherapy, leukapheresis, bone marrow transplantation.
• If the reason is the presence of autoimmune diseases: Hydrocortisone, Traimtsinolon, Dexamethasone.
• hyperthyroidism treatment It occurs by means of radioactive iodine preparations tyrosol, Endonorma; often practiced by full or partial removal of the thyroid gland.

Extras can be used vitamin - mineral supplements, analgesics and antipyretics.

Recipes of traditional medicine

Among alternative ways to reduce the level of lymphocytes there are many recipes for different situations.

One of the most potent natural antibiotics are:

• propolis
• honey
• garlic
• mummy

garlic tincture to boost the body's immune forces:

1. 200 g fresh garlic necessary to crush any convenient manner;
2. obtained raw pour 200 ml. alcohol;
3. let stand in a cool dark place for 10 days.

For best compound formulation ingredients should be periodically shaken, after the infusion fluid must be obtained strain and leave for another two days.

Take this remedy can be 3 times a lazy 2 hours after meals, starting with 1 drop for breakfast, lunch 2 drops, 3 drops for dinner. Further, according to the scheme: 4 drops - breakfast, 5 drops - dinner, 6 drops - dinner, reaching 15 drops - back in the reverse order of descending number of drops after each meal.

Recipes of traditional antiviral tincture of Echinacea:

• 50 - 100 g raw materials - leaves, flowers, roots, stems, leaves and place in a glass jar;
• Pour the dry ingredients 1 liter quality vodka;
• insist in a dark place for 20 days at room temperature.

To use the drug must be obtained on a tablespoon of half an hour before meals three times a day. The best way to fight against autoimmune disorders is coconut oil, it should be taken into at least 4 tbsp. l. in a day.

Recipe broth against the symptoms of Graves' disease:

• rhizomes licorice white - 1 tbsp. l .;
• rhizomes red madder - 1 tbsp. l .;

The resulting mixture was poured to 500 ml of hot water and boiled infused hour broth should take a glass fasting.

Another effective tool in the fight against diseases of the autoimmune system is the setting of alcohol walnuts:

• green walnuts - 50 pieces, they should be crushed;
• 250 ml of alcohol connect with nuts;
• leave the mixture for 60 days.

Take a ready means you can for dessert spoon before each meal. Good results in the fight against lymphocytosis makes use of linden tea, berry blackthorn, birch buds. Vitamin B17 is the most powerful tool in the fight against cancer, it is contained in the nuclei of apricot seeds, cherry, bird cherry, plums, pears and apples, almonds.

Forecast

Lymphocytosis may occur for various reasons, sometimes it is a signal of a common cold, and sometimes such a phenomenon - the result of dangerous processes in a woman's body. For adequate diagnosis collectively used blood and urine tests, counseling therapist, oncologist and endocrinologist, often used ultrasound findings, MRI.

Causes of increased lymphocytes in the blood of women should be identified as soon as possible and start their treatment. In addition to drug therapy can achieve positive results while respecting the diet and the use of traditional medicine products.

In most cases, given the positive outlook for recovery or the easy course of the disease, allowing to live a full life.
