In normal adults, the MXD population will primarily consist of monocytes as the normal reference ranges for mono- cytes, basophils and eosinophils are 0.2–1.0 9 109 cells/l, 0.02–0.1 9 109 cells/l and 0.2–0.5 9 109 cells/l, respec- tively.
What does mxd mean in a blood test?
Mixed cell percentage (MXD) (P = 0.018) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW-CV) (P = 0.012) were significantly elevated among cases as compared to controls. Haematuria was a clinical characteristic of heavy infection.
Why is mxd high?
High: A high eosinophil count tends to result from an allergic reaction, such as asthma, eczema or a reaction to a medication. Inflammatory disorders, such as celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), can also cause high eosinophil levels.
