Yes, elevated lymphocytes can impact intracellular nutrient levels on Vibrant's Micronutrient test if elevated lymphocyte levels impact the total white blood cell (WBC) count. This is because intracellular nutrient levels are normalized to the total WBC count and lymphocytes are one type of WBC. Elevated lymphocytes (causing elevated WBCs) may result in falsely lower nutrient levels. However, the serum and RBC results would still have clinical utility.
Will elevated lymphocyte levels impact Micronutrient test results?
