MXD #
Other names: white blood cells
In a complete blood count (CBC) the MXD # refers to the combined count of mixed white blood cells which includes monocytes, eosinophils and basophils. This helps to understand the relative and absolute numbers of these less common white blood cells which can be important in diagnosing various conditions.
→ Monocytes: These cells fight off bacteria, viruses and fungi. They also remove dead or damaged tissues and regulate immune responses.
→ Eosinophils: These cells are involved in parasitic infections and allergic reactions and asthma.
→ Basophils: These cells are involved in inflammatory responses and allergic reactions.

Elevated Levels of MXD # in Complete Blood Count
What Do Elevated Levels Signify?
Elevated levels of MXD # indicate an increased count of monocytes, eosinophils, and/or basophils in the blood. This can suggest the body is responding to certain types of stress, infections, allergic reactions, or other immune responses.
Conditions Associated with Elevations
→ Monocytes: Chronic infections (e.g., tuberculosis), inflammatory diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), and certain leukemias.
→ Eosinophils: Parasitic infections, allergic reactions (e.g., asthma, hay fever), and autoimmune diseases (e.g., eosinophilic esophagitis).
→ Basophils: Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), hypothyroidism, and other myeloproliferative disorders.
Possible Reasons for Elevation
→ Infections: Bacterial, viral, parasitic infections.
→ Inflammatory Conditions: Rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease.
→ Allergic Reactions: Asthma, eczema, allergic rhinitis.
→ Hematologic Disorders: Leukemias, lymphomas, myeloproliferative disorders.
→ Endocrine Disorders: Hypothyroidism.
→ Medications: Certain drugs (e.g., corticosteroids, interferons) can influence white blood cell counts.
Potential Treatment Considerations
→ Addressing Underlying Conditions: Treat infections with appropriate antimicrobials, manage autoimmune conditions with immunosuppressants.
→ Allergy Management: Antihistamines, corticosteroids, and allergen avoidance for allergic conditions.
→ Hematologic Treatments: Specific treatments for leukemia or other blood disorders, such as chemotherapy or targeted therapy.
→ Lifestyle Modifications: Address contributing factors such as smoking cessation, stress management, and maintaining a healthy diet.
Other Biomarkers that are Correlated
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP): Elevated in inflammatory and infectious conditions.
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): Often elevated in inflammation.
- Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH): Can be elevated in tissue damage and hematologic disorders.
- Immunoglobulin E (IgE): Often elevated in allergic reactions.
Nutrient Associations
- Vitamin C and E: Antioxidants that can support immune function.
- Vitamin D: Important for immune regulation, often associated with lower rates of autoimmune diseases.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Anti-inflammatory properties.
- Zinc: Essential for immune function.
- Probiotics: Can help modulate immune responses and gut health.
Specific Considerations for Males vs. Females and Young vs. Old
- Gender Differences: Hormonal differences can affect immune responses, with females generally having more robust immune responses than males.
- Age Differences: Younger individuals may have more active immune responses, while older adults might show altered immune function due to aging (immunosenescence).
