Basophils %

What This Marker Means

Basophils form a small percentage of immune cells. Elevated percentages may indicate chronic inflammation, allergic response, or metabolic stress.

How Alcohol Affects This Marker

Alcohol can indirectly influence basophil levels by increasing systemic inflammation. Chronic heavy drinking may weaken immune regulation.

How to Discuss With Your Doctor

Ask whether your basophil percentage needs follow-up or if it's simply a mild variation. Discuss inflammation levels and alcohol patterns for context.
