What is a normal absolute basophil count?
The short answer
A typical US lab calls an absolute basophil count normal up to 0.2 thousand/µL. That range exists to catch disease, not to describe your best.
Nobody we follow has said what your basophils (absolute) should be. It comes up on the shows, but never with a number.
What basophils (absolute) measures
The count of basophils, the rarest type of white blood cell.
They release histamine, so they matter in allergy and inflammation.

Common questions
What is a normal basophils (absolute) level?
Most US labs print 0–0.2 10^3/µL. Your report grades you against that range. It exists to catch disease, not to describe your best.
What does your basophils (absolute) number mean?
On a typical lab range, up to 0.2 10^3/µL is normal and over 0.2 is high. Your own report prints its range next to your number, and that is the one your lab uses. Nobody we follow has drawn a line inside that range.
What does the basophils (absolute) test measure?
The count of basophils, the rarest type of white blood cell. They release histamine, so they matter in allergy and inflammation.
Why is there no target here?
Because nobody we follow has named a number for basophils (absolute). If that changes, it will be here.
