Will low lymphocyte levels impact Micronutrient test results?

Yes, low lymphocytes can impact intracellular nutrient levels on Vibrant's Micronutrient test if low 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. Low lymphocytes (causing low WBCs) may result in falsely high nutrient levels. However, the serum and RBC results would still have clinical utility.
