CBC fluctuation
Hi, I came across a Text book 'diagnostic hematology' that had some interesting causes for daily fluctuation in the WBC and Platelets. It states that WBC is highest in the afternoon and lowest in the am at rest. ANC is also increased by eating, exercise and temperature extremes. Platelets are also increased by exercise. My data has moved up and down driving me a bit crazy I can trace back the time of the labs and the afternoons are higher wbc than the mornings. I run each day but did not log the time of day which I will start doing to see if that effects the numbers. Has anyone noticed the lab numbers being better in the pm?
