Medical standard: eosinophils in the blood of women, children and men( table)
What is the norm of eosinophils in the blood of women, children and men? In this article we will answer this question. Also, let's talk about what it means to increase this indicator.
Eosinophils are a sub-group of leukocytes. The function of these elements is to break down the protein that enters the body. Eosinophils are contained in the human body in small quantities, but their presence is permanent. If there is a deviation from the norm, this is an indicator that the body begins to fight with allergens. The fact is that a protein of foreign origin causes allergies.
Parameters in children
Now we will tell you about the norm for a child of these leukocytes. Eosinophils in the blood of women are present, but more about this later.
The number of eosinophils in a child's body varies. Their number depends on how old the child is and what sex it is. If a blood test is performed in the laboratory, then eosinophils are designated as part of the leukocytes. As for the separate selection of this value, then, as a rule, it is not indicated.
| How old is the child | Eosinophil norm according to × 109 / l | Eosinophil percentage as a percentage of leukocyte count |
| First year of child's life | 0.05-0.7 | 1% -6% |
| 1-2 years | 0.02-0.7 | 1% -7% |
| 3-5 years | 0.02-0.7 | 1% -6% |
| 6-12 years | 0.00-0.6 | 1% -5.5% |
| 12-18 years | 0.00-0.45 | 1% -5% |
| Older than eighteen years | 0.00-0.45 | 0.5% -5% |
In principle, the number of these elements is not very different. In children this value is higher than in adults.
It should be known that different indications of the value of these elements in humans are possible depending on the time of day. This phenomenon should be known when taking material for examination. The maximum figure is at night, and the minimum is for the morning and evening. At this time, the value of eosinophils is less by 20 percent than at other times of the day.
If these indicators are higher than the allowable, then this state of the body is called eosinophilia. A decrease in the value of this indicator is called eosinopenia.
Reasons for the
Why do the elements appear?
- As a rule, the cause of increased eosinophils is the presence of allergies.
- Another reason for this increase is parasites that are present in the body. For example, worms. The value of eosinophils is increased by twenty percent of the norm. Such a person's condition is called hypereosinophilia.
The value of indicators in women
What is the norm for girls of this element? Eosinophils in the blood in women should be from 0.00 to 0.5 * 109 / L.If you take the percentage option, it will be like this - from 0.5% to 5%.
We have already found out what is the medical norm for the girls of these elements. Eosinophils in the blood of women can increase. Why is it so? Now we'll figure it out. When the blood tests exceed the above values, the body can have such ailments as:
Asthma and dermatitis.There are three stages of eosinophilia. The first is easy. Then the level of eosinophils rises no more than 10 percent. The second stage is called moderate. Here the level of increase is 10-15 percent. And the third stage is usually called pronounced. With it, the increase in the number of elements is from 15 to 20 percent. What is the norm of eosinophils in the blood of women, it was said above.
For understanding, it should be said that if there is an allergic reaction, then there is a moderate stage of increasing these indicators. But when a person has asthma, the values become higher. In the case when a person suffers from severe skin diseases, such as Dühring's dermatitis and pemphigus, eosinophilia will be stable or pronounced. When the body is affected by such systemic pathologies as arthritis and periarteritis, the leukocyte formula can show a very high value of eosinophils. But when infecting a patient with parasites, eosinophilia does not have a pronounced character. You should know that the level of these leukocytes in the human body indicates the severity of the disease. That is, the higher this value, the more serious pathology is present in the human body.
Normal. Eosinophils in the blood of women with a change in the hormonal cycle
. Also in women, this indicator affects the hormonal background. Therefore, at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, their level is high, can reach 10 or 12 percent, and after ovulation the value comes back to normal.
Eosinopenia is observed after any injuries, stress, overstrain. Also in cases of any experiences. An interesting fact is that disturbances can be both positive and negative.
What level should men have?
You already know what value is regarded as a norm, eosinophils in the blood of women should not exceed 5%.Note that the level of these elements does not depend on the gender of the person. Therefore, in boys and boys over 18 years of age, the norm can be seen in the table that was given above. It should be noted that when a man becomes older than 50 years, the normal level of eosinophils is from 1% to 5.5%.
If a man has increased values, this means that the following pathologies can be present in the body:
- Allergic conditions of the body, such as angioedema, dermatitis, asthma, urticaria and others.
- The defeat of the body by parasites, for example, echinococcosis, opisthorchiasis and others.
- Diseases of the blood.
Eosinopenia in men
Causes of eosinopenia in the male body:
- Inflammation of the lungs, typhus and other infections of this type.
- Sepsis, peritonitis.
- Any injuries sustained, body burns, cramps and chills.
- Fatigue, for example, lack of sleep.
If a person suffers a serious infection of an infectious type, then the complete disappearance of eosinophils from human blood is possible.
Taking certain medicines may cause an imbalance in the presence of components in the blood. For example, corticosteroid medications provide the production of hormones by the adrenal glands. And they, in turn, suppress eosinophils in the blood of a person.
Decrease in the
index If the level of these white blood cells has decreased in the body, this will not be manifested in any way on the human condition. However, the diseases that occur in the body can be manifested as follows:
- Weakness, lethargy, sweating, pain in the vessels indicate that the body has rheumatic pathology.
- Edema, enlargement of the spleen, anxiety in the liver, anemia are a sign of autoimmune diseases.
- If the body has worms, then the person's appetite disappears, nausea appears and lymph nodes increase.
- Allergies are accompanied by reddening of the skin, rashes and irritation of the eyes.
Conclusion
Now you know why there are eosinophils in the blood are elevated( causes).The norm of indicators for children, men and women was discussed above. If you see in the analysis of blood that eosinophils have an increased or decreased index, then this does not mean that the person is ill with something, since this value varies. Therefore, additional diagnostic methods should be used to make the diagnosis.
