Monocytes
Monocytes are large white blood cells that move into tissues and clean up dead cells and germs. They're a small share of your white cells, but they rise in longer-lasting infections and inflammation.
Your reading
This app uses 2–10%, or 0.1–0.9 thousand per microlitre. A mild rise is common while recovering from an infection, and with chronic inflammation. Low monocytes on their own are rarely meaningful.
What may help
- —Retesting after you've recovered from any recent illness
- —Looking at CRP alongside it to see whether there's ongoing inflammation
When to talk to a doctor
If monocytes stay above the range for weeks without a clear reason, especially with other abnormal blood counts.

What is a normal Monocytes level?
Daygo uses 2–10% · 0.1–0.9 ×10³/µL as the reference range. This app uses 2–10%, or 0.1–0.9 thousand per microlitre. A mild rise is common while recovering from an infection, and with chronic inflammation. Low monocytes on their own are rarely meaningful.
How can I improve my Monocytes?
Retesting after you've recovered from any recent illness. Looking at CRP alongside it to see whether there's ongoing inflammation.
When should I see a doctor about Monocytes?
