Good day.
Thank you for asking the question. noted the lab reports. to Interpret those results , I need to know a little bit of her symptoms and would like to know why the tests were ordered. Could you also attach the test results please . Normal range of these blood tests vary from lab to lab depending on the assay used. as the neurophils and eosinophil counts are elevated ,,that may indicate an infection or inflammation. does she have any fever, rashes, runny nose,or any symptoms of infection. ?

Brief Answer:
elevated counts.

Detailed Answer:
okay. . usually those hormone tests are done to rule out adrenal disorders.
The blood counts are elevated which could be simply related to her arthritis. however any hidden infection should be ruled out. urinary tract infections are quite common at this age which may be silent in many elderly women.
