Introduction
Under normal circumstances, a monocyte count of 0.71 usually refers to an absolute monocyte value of 0.71×10^9/L. If monocytes are abnormal, medication should be taken as directed by a physician. Additionally, it is important to maintain a diverse diet and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as cabbage, oranges, and kiwifruit. Patients should尽量 avoid fried and greasy foods, such as fried chicken and fatty oils.
Under normal circumstances, a monocyte count of 0.71 refers to a monocyte absolute value reaching 0.71×10⁹/L. The details are as follows:
Monocytes are one type of white blood cell and the largest in size among them. They form an important part of the body's defense system. The monocyte absolute value can indicate whether there are underlying health conditions and serves as one of the key indicators for auxiliary diagnosis. The normal reference range for monocyte absolute value is (0.12–0.8)×10⁹/L. A value of 0.71×10⁹/L indicates that immune cells are currently intact and not damaged. Monocytes are crucial immune defense cells with strong phagocytic capabilities. Elevated monocyte counts may be associated with conditions such as anemia, malaria, hyperthyroidism, or viral hepatitis. Conversely, decreased monocyte levels may occur in diseases such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
If monocyte levels are abnormal, patients should follow medical advice regarding medication. Additionally, maintaining a diverse diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits—such as cabbage, oranges, and kiwifruit—is recommended. Patients should avoid fried and greasy foods like fried chicken or fatty meats as much as possible. If any discomfort or symptoms arise, individuals should seek medical care at a hospital.
