Eosinophils. The norm in women over the age of, table, decoding of blood tests, treatment

Norm of eosinophils in both men and women depends on their way of life, the presence or absence comorbidities internal organs and systems, as well as classified according to their age. Under the influence of negative environmental factors, resulting in infectious invasion of eosinophil concentration in serum may increase or decrease.

eosinophil function in the body

Eosinophils - a type of granulocyte white blood cells of blood serum, which play an important role in maintaining stable operation of the immune system and its response to parasitic infestations in the gastrointestinal tract.

The name of eosinophils received due to their properties of staining method Romanovsky. During impact on their surface eosin dye, which has an acidic composition, they change the color shade and in relation to other blood cells form a separate fraction.

Eosinophils are synthesized by bone marrow cells.

Each such body leukocyte contained 2 dvuhdolchatogo elongated core type. A distinctive feature of eosinophils is that they are able to go beyond the blood vessels and penetrate into the tissue of internal organs.

This property is due to the functional purpose of granulocytic cells, as well as their role in the immune response to penetration into the human parasite larvae bacterial microorganisms and toxic chemicals etiology.

According to the latest research, the following functions are carried out in the human eosinophils:

• possess phagocytosis by absorbing harmful bacteria, protozoa, viruses and fungal microorganisms (highest granulocytic cell efficiency is manifested against streptococcal, gonococcal, pneumococci, staphylococci, meningococcus);
• act as a stimulus to the immune system class Fc receptors which stimulate the production of antibodies needed to combat parasites (this function eosinophils runs after with food or water in the digestive tract enter the eggs and larvae of worms and other organisms, leading a parasitic way life);
• reduce the level of inflammation, promote more rapid restoration of damaged tissues, reduce the recovery processes;
• in case of local inflammation in soft tissues or the internal organs, as well as their mechanical damage, eosinophils together with blood flow directed to the site of pathology, taking part in a complex immune response, preventing infection by a bacterial infection;
• possess the function of binding and uptake of histamine, preventing acute allergic reaction of the body at the moment when its receptors faced with potential allergens (household dust, dampness, mold, pollen and fruit trees, animal dander, certain types of Food);
• takes part in the regulation of the balance of beneficial and pathogenic intestinal microflora, neutralizing pathogens;
• They are an indicator of infection or chronic inflammation of the body, which runs hidden and virtually asymptomatic (evidenced by a sharp increase or decrease in the level of eosinophils, which depends on the type of disease).

Norm of eosinophils in both men and women divided by age and displays the overall health of the immune system.

Despite the fact that eosinophils are considered to be classic phagocytes which absorb harmful bacteria, the main functional purpose of granulocytic white blood cells is the formation of anti-parasitic immunity bowel. The mucosa and submucosa of the intestine in a concentration 300 times higher than in blood serum.

How and under what conditions it is produced

Eosinophils as a kind of granulocytic leukocytes, bone marrow produced fabrics. The percentage of these cells increases when the human body is experiencing acute allergic reaction occurred bacterial, viral, fungal infection or infestation of parasites.

In the absence of negative influence of external and internal factors, eosinophil levels are maintained within normal limits without abrupt increase or decrease. Once in the blood granulocytic cells linger in her serum no more than 12 hours, and then penetrate into the organs of the digestive system, where it accumulates. In the tissues of internal organs may be up to 12 days, providing anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect.

Table OK

Eosinophils (normal in women over the age is determined individually and depends on the presence of concomitant diseases) - is variety of granulocytic leukocytes, which in the absence of stress concentration remain stable in the blood and Gastrointestinal organs.

The table below shows the performance of eosinophils levels in women and men with regard to their age category:

Age	Norma women (units per 1 microliter of blood)	Norma men (units per 1 microliter of blood)
From 18 to 29 years	From 122 to 165	From 120 to 160
From 30 to 39 years old	From 165 to 260	From 160 to 255
From 40 to 59 years old	From 260 to 320	From 255 to 315
60 years and older	Up to 350	Up to 350

Normal levels of eosinophils levels in the blood serum, which apply to both men and women - is from 120 to 350 units. With age in humans develop chronic diseases, there is a tendency to allergic reactions and reduced immunity.

In this regard, possible slight increase eosinophil concentration limits which are displayed in the table above. If a woman or a man a certain age group the level of these cells above or below, and the signs of the disease state of the body - no, it is also not a pathology.

Symptoms of increase and decrease

Eosinophils (the norm in women over the age depends on the physiological characteristics of its endocrine, digestive, immune system) - subspecies granulocytic leukocyte types that are involved in defending the body against bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic invasions.

Increased eosinophil blood concentration above the limit of 350 units per 1 microliter of serum qualifies as eosinophilia disease and exhibits the following symptoms:

• subfebrile body temperature (within 37 degrees Celsius);
• fever;
• intoxication and severe headache;
• a red rash on the body;
• itchy skin;
• swelling of the epithelial tissues;
• symptoms of atopic dermatitis.

Depending on what kind of concomitant diseases caused by a sharp increase in the level of eosinophils in the blood, may join and other symptoms. In this case, there are not only common features of biochemical composition of the blood changes, but also the symptoms specific to the disease.

Reduction of granulocytic cells below 120 units per 1 microliter of blood is a disease eosinopenia.

Its symptoms can be expressed in the following states of the organism:

• physical weakness;
• fast fatiguability;
• drowsiness, lack of energy;
• loss of appetite;
• joint pain, aching muscles and bones.

Most men and women, whose blood was found eosinophils deficit, did not experience any symptoms. This is due to the individual and the properties of the immune system.

The reasons for increases and decreases

Eosinophils (the norm in women over the age determined by the results of biochemical studies of venous blood) - leukocyte cells, whose concentration may be increased during development of the following diseases:

• bronchial asthma;
• seasonal allergies to pollen, or other irritants;
• allergic rhinitis, dermatitis or intolerance of medicines;
• malignant bone marrow tumors;
• periarteritis nodosa;
• helminths infecting organism (eosinophilia can cause parasites that live in the intestines and soft tissues of internal organs);
• immunodeficient state of the organism;
• rheumatoid arthritis.

The presence of high levels of eosinophils - a reason to pass a comprehensive examination of the whole body, setting the underlying disease, which triggers the synthesis of a large number of leukocyte cells.

Reducing the concentration of eosinophils it may be caused by the following factors:

• reception synthetic hormones, anabolic steroids, which delay the output of eosinophils from bone marrow tissue;
• severe intoxication caused by a particularly virulent strains of bacterial microorganisms, when leukocyte cells rapidly pathogenic microorganisms are destroyed and there is a change of the biochemical composition of the blood (Staphylococcus aureus, gonococcus, wand TB);
• extensive damage to soft tissues and internal organs.

Low levels of eosinophils in the postoperative period suggests heavy patient's condition. The gradual increase of leukocyte cells to the normal range is an indication of positive dynamics for the restoration of the body.

Indications for study

Eosinophils (the norm in women over the age depends on the individual characteristics of the organism) - a leukocyte cells, the level of which indicates the possible presence of inflammation, bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic invasion.

Letting assay concentration of eosinophils is shown when the patient has the following symptoms of the disease state of the organism:

• fever;
• allergic rhinitis;
• suspected bot;
• periodic fever to subfebrile values;
• red rash;
• atopic dermatitis, hives, itchy skin;
• frequent colds, susceptibility to infectious and viral diseases.

Study on the concentration of eosinophils in the blood serum lasts 1 to 3 days in sterile conditions biochemical laboratory. According to the analysis prepared a written report on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the blood cells.

How to determine the

The level of eosinophils in the male or female is determined by the study of venous blood biochemical parameters. To obtain a sufficiently reliable result pass between 5 and 10 ml of biological material.

Collection of blood carried nurse under sterile conditions, the handling office. Samples of biological material stained with paint oxidant - eosin. Under her influence this type of granulocytic cells acquire a bright orange hue.

Preparation and analysis

Preparation for the analysis of the concentration of eosinophils in the blood serum includes the observance of these rules, which are required to carry out:

• 24 hours before the delivery of the analysis does not expose the body in hard physical load;
• 72 hours before the blood sample is not to drink alcohol;
• the last meal should take place no later than 8 hours prior to the visit of the laboratory;
• last cigarette to be smoked for 1 h prior to analysis;
• the day before the blood donation is necessary to sleep at night not to overeat and drink plenty of fluids.

Sampling Venous blood samples carried out in the morning of day during the period from 08-00 to 10-00 hours. Before visiting the laboratories are allowed to drink water or strong sweet tea.

Decoding results

To manually decrypt an analysis of the concentration of eosinophils in the blood serum, enough to know the maximum level of standards of leukocyte cell type.

If the conclusion in the laboratory indicated that blood eosinophils found less than 120 units, they display reduced. Concentration in excess of 1 350 cells per microliter of blood is also a deviation from the norm.

When to see a doctor

Any deviation from normal levels of eosinophils - it is an occasion to refer to the general practitioner or a hematologist. The doctor will perform an external inspection, identifies the other symptoms of the disease state of an organism and will appoint an additional examination to determine the cause of the biochemical composition of the blood changes.

How to bring back to normal

To bring the level of eosinophils in normal limits, it is necessary to eliminate the root cause, violates the biochemical composition of blood.

Medications

Selection of the drug, which helps to restore the normal concentration of eosinophils, is carried out only by the attending physician or internist hematologist.

The following agents can be used:

• loratadine - Take 1 tablet per day, and is appointed in the case of eosinophil level rise caused by an allergic reaction (treatment for 10 to 20 days, and the cost of the drug 110 rub.);
• erythromycin - an antibacterial agent, which is shown to reception to suppress pathogenic microflora, when the rise of eosinophils - a immune response to infectious invasion (take 1-2 tablets 3-4 times a day for 14 days, and the price of the drug 75 rub.);
• dekaris - anthelmintic drug that is administered in the event that an increase of leukocyte cells is consequence infestation (received 150 mg dose, and the drug price is 240 rubles).;
• Immunal - a comprehensive tool to restore normal functioning of the immune system and blood leukocyte formula which is received by 2.5 ml 3 times per day for 10-14 days, and the cost of the drug is 480 rub.

Depending on the basic disease causing the decrease or increase in red blood cells, other drugs can be used. Before starting a course of drug therapy is necessary to establish the cause of the disease state of an organism.

Traditional methods

It is not recommended to use herbal teas, tinctures, teas, prepared on the basis of medicinal herbs, as they do not have a proper therapeutic effect and are not able to influence the reduction or increase in eosinophil levels blood.

Other methods

In combination with medication eosinopenia and eosinophilia following physical therapy techniques can be used, to strengthen the immune system:

• douche - is taken every morning for 10 min .;
• pouring cold water - in the morning or in the evening every day;
• rubbing a wet towel - alternative or contrasting douche soul;
• visit the baths and swimming in the pool - 1 time per week.

All the above physiotherapy methods of restoring normal levels of eosinophils should agreed with the doctor who performed the patient's diagnosis and prescribers reception drugs.

possible complications

Treatment of increased or decreased levels of eosinophils in the blood is to eliminate the causative factors provoking an acute immune response, or suppressing the immune system.

Lack of skilled therapy can lead to the following complications:

• bronchial asthma;
• Insemination organism larvae of parasites;
• tendency to frequent colds, viral and infectious diseases;
• indigestion and poor digestion;
• constant itching and chronic dermatitis;
• rheumatoid arthritis;
• severe allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock attack.

Norm of eosinophils in men and women by age - a relative, a slight decrease or increase leukocyte cells can be caused by chronic infection, allergies to foods, animal dander, pollen and fruit trees.

Addressing the underlying factors of stimuli is the key to maintain a stable blood chemistry and concentration of eosinophils.
