      Hey all. Back in March I had a mole removed that was severely atypical with high melanoma potential, and it was a compound nevus.

      About 7 weeks ago I got a lumbar puncture for unrelated reasons. I got my results and it basically said I had 0 lymphocytes and my LDH was 272 with the normal results being between 119-226.

      Could these numbers be cause for concern? My dr didn’t mention anything about them…but it was a neurologist who was testing me for MS (which I ended up not having).

          If you are talking about the results of the CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) that was drawn and evaluated during your lumbar puncture – 0 lymphocytes is good!!! There should be very few if any lymphocytes in particular and minimal white cells period in CSF unless you have an infection, inflammatory process, or other unpleasantness!!! As for as the LDH – 1. That is not very elevated. 2. LDH is not very specific and can increase due to many reasons, including things as mild as minor infection or inflammation to things as major as a heart attack or cancer.

          Sounds like good news overall – esp no MS!!! Enjoy! celeste
