High Basophiles and Eosinophils Relative

Posted by Lucy @welchllb, Aug 4, 2024

I just had more lab work and the results show high Basophils Relative and high Eosinophils Relative. Also, high Bun/Creatine level. Anyone else?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

Yes, same but no one understands why. I’ve been LC 2+ years.

Anyone else? My Gastro Doctor has referred me to an Hematologist because he doesn't understand "why" either.

I have high eosinophils as well. Post Covid I became gluten intolerant, and now I have added crustacean intolerant as well. Do any of you have new sensitivities or allergies?

Consider keeping a food log and getting a celiac panel blood test, in case covid triggered celiac. You have to be eating gluten for a while before the test, otherwise it will be negative. Gluten is in a lot of things, including most restaurant food. My celiac was triggered 14 years ago by H1N1. Eight years ago I developed collagenous colitis; when you have one autoimmune disease you tend to collect others (a rather sucky hobby). So, I don't eat and gluten or NSAIDs and minimize legumes (soy, peanuts, beans...) and alcohol. I eat a mostly FODMAP diet but with dairy.

Thank you. I have been tested for celiac, negative. I've also tried the FODMAP diet. Apparently, that's not the problem. Yes, I do have other autoimmune issues, including IBS-C and formerly, IBS-D. Appreciate your feedback, though.

My eosinophils are high as well. Drs didn’t have any explanation. Repeat labs were ordered x3 over a few months, no changes, but the lab results were ultimately shrugged off by the drs. Still a mystery.

Hmmmm, sounds like another COVID mystery. I hope this thread prompts some research!!

My eosinophils and other "ophils" are normal range, but some of my other bloodwork is all over the place; at least that part of my immune system is working. I didn't find anything in ResearchGate using "eosinophil covid" and not much with eosinophil. Once our bloodwork starts to go wonky it is a bit like a 3D jigsaw puzzle, waiting to see how it fills out.

One of the main causes of eosinophilia is parasitic infections (which the mainstream healthcare association seems to stay hush and quiet on). My suggestion is to get a PCR parasitic test along with a stool test, saliva test, sputum test, and various parasite serology blood tests to rule them out.
