Hi I am worried about my pcr test. My last pcr was 0.004 which was down a little from the one before that. On my last cbc test there was a test I noticed that was GRAN%77.8 high. I am worried that its higher mean cml is getting worse.

A Gran % of 77.8 all by itself without other blood count data can mean anything. You could be responding to an infection (you may not even be aware) or some other trigger. Granulocytes are precursors to the other myeloid white blood cells of which neutrophils are the largest. if your overall blood counts are low, then your body is making up for lost time. In other words, this could be normal.

Your PCR at 0.004 is below the precision of the test. Many labs do not report levels below 0.01 (2nd decimal place).
