Cause of High Basophil Level
Common causes of high basophil level include:
– Autoimmune inflammation: This happens when the immune system attacks healthy body cells. Typical signs include muscle pain, hair loss, fever, or inflamed joints
– Hypothyroidism: This condition happens when the thyroid gland produces too little thyroid hormone. As a result, many bodily functions are slowed down. Typical signs include constipation, weight gain, coarse skin, brittle hair, hoarse voice, or puffy face.
– Myeloproliferative disorders: This is a group of conditions that trigger an overproduction of platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells in the bone marrow. Main forms of myeloproliferative disorders include thrombocythemia, myelofibrosis, and polycythemia rubra vera. [7]
