Os monócitos são um tipo de glóbulo branco (leucócito) essencial para o sistema imunológico. Esses importantes agentes imunológicos identificam e eliminam invasores nocivos, como vírus, bactérias, fungos e protozoários, além de remover células infectadas ou danificadas. Os monócitos também enviam sinais para outras células imunológicas para ajudar a reparar lesões e prevenir infecções.
Os monócitos circulam no sangue até detectarem uma ameaça ou dano tecidual. Quando necessário, eles entram nos tecidos e se transformam em macrófagos ou células dendríticas, desempenhando funções específicas:
Quando expostos a patógenos (substâncias causadoras de doenças), os monócitos iniciam sua transformação. Os macrófagos ativados podem liberar substâncias químicas tóxicas para eliminar bactérias ou células infectadas e digerir germes revestidos por anticorpos gerados por outras células imunológicas.
Os níveis de monócitos são medidos em um exame de sangue completo (hemograma). Os resultados podem ser apresentados como:
Os monócitos são produzidos na medula óssea a partir de células-tronco sanguíneas indiferenciadas. Após sua formação, eles entram na corrente sanguínea e se deslocam por todo o corpo. Eventualmente, migram para os tecidos dos órgãos, como o baço, fígado, pulmões e medula óssea, onde procuram por patógenos.
Os monócitos são o maior tipo de glóbulo branco, quase duas vezes maiores que os glóbulos vermelhos. Ao microscópio, eles são facilmente reconhecíveis por:
Uma contagem saudável de monócitos geralmente varia entre 2% e 8% do total de glóbulos brancos, o que equivale a aproximadamente 200 a 800 monócitos por microlitro (mcL) de sangue em adultos.
Se sua contagem de monócitos estiver fora dessa faixa, isso pode indicar infecção, inflamação ou outras condições de saúde que exigem investigação adicional.
Muitos laboratórios não estabelecem faixas oficiais de referência percentual para monócitos. Nesse caso, os profissionais de saúde utilizam a contagem absoluta de monócitos para maior precisão.
Os monócitos são defensores essenciais do sistema imunológico. Eles reconhecem e eliminam invasores nocivos, limpam células danificadas e sinalizam para outras células imunológicas responderem. Seja transformando-se em macrófagos para combater patógenos ou em células dendríticas para iniciar respostas imunológicas, os monócitos são vitais para proteger o corpo contra infecções e manter a saúde geral. Monitorar os níveis de monócitos por meio de exames de sangue fornece informações importantes sobre a saúde imunológica.

A monocitose é um aumento anormal no nível de monócitos, um tipo específico de glóbulo branco que protege o sistema imunológico contra substâncias nocivas, como toxinas, bactérias e vírus. Embora a monocitose possa indicar uma condição médica subjacente, nem sempre é um problema grave. Caso seja diagnosticado com monocitose, seu médico avaliará sua saúde geral para identificar e tratar possíveis causas.
A monocitose pode estar relacionada a uma ampla variedade de condições médicas, desde infecções e doenças autoimunes até fatores relacionados ao estilo de vida. As causas comuns incluem:
A monocitose geralmente não causa sintomas diretos. No entanto, os sintomas podem surgir devido à condição subjacente que provoca o aumento nos níveis de monócitos. Por exemplo:
Trabalhar com seu médico para identificar a causa da monocitose é essencial para compreender seu impacto na sua vida diária.
A monocitose é geralmente detectada durante um hemograma completo (CBC) de rotina, que mede os níveis de glóbulos brancos no sangue. Caso sejam identificados níveis elevados de monócitos, exames adicionais podem ser solicitados para determinar a causa subjacente, como:
O tratamento da monocitose foca no manejo da condição subjacente. As abordagens comuns incluem:
Em muitos casos, a monocitose se resolve após o tratamento ou controle da causa primária.
A monocitose é um sinal de que o sistema imunológico está respondendo a um desafio, como uma infecção, inflamação ou outra condição. Embora às vezes esteja associada a doenças graves, como câncer ou doenças autoimunes, muitas vezes é uma resposta temporária a fatores como estresse ou recuperação de uma infecção. Caso tenha um alto nível de monócitos, seu médico poderá ajudar a determinar a causa e orientar o tratamento adequado. Monitoramento regular e uma avaliação completa são essenciais para manter sua saúde em dia.

I have been using Healthmatters.io since 2021. I travel all over the world and use different doctors and health facilities. This site has allowed me to consolidate all my various test results over 14 years in one place. And every doctor that I show this to has been impressed. Because with any health professional I talk to, I can pull up historical results in seconds. It is invaluable. Even going back to the same doctor, they usually do not have the historical results from their facility in a graph format. That has been very helpful.

Níveis baixos de monócitos, conhecidos como monocitopenia, ocorrem quando o corpo produz menos monócitos, geralmente devido a condições ou tratamentos que suprimem o sistema imunológico ou reduzem a contagem geral de glóbulos brancos.
Um tipo de câncer no sangue que causa a superprodução de linfócitos B e reduz os níveis de monócitos e outros leucócitos. Os sintomas incluem aumento do baço e infecções frequentes. O tratamento pode envolver medicamentos ou transplante de medula óssea.
Os níveis baixos de monócitos geralmente não causam sintomas diretos. No entanto, os sintomas podem surgir devido à condição subjacente que causou a monocitopenia. O efeito mais comum é a frequência aumentada de infecções, que podem se manifestar como:
Outras anormalidades nas células do sangue, como leucopenia ou anemia, também podem contribuir para os sintomas.
A monocitopenia é geralmente identificada através de um hemograma completo (CBC). Se forem detectados níveis baixos de monócitos, exames adicionais podem ser realizados para determinar a causa, como:
O tratamento da monocitopenia foca em:
Níveis baixos de monócitos geralmente estão associados a condições médicas subjacentes ou tratamentos que afetam o sistema imunológico e a medula óssea. Embora a monocitopenia em si possa não causar sintomas perceptíveis, infecções frequentes e outras complicações são comuns. O diagnóstico precoce, o tratamento da causa raiz e a prevenção de infecções são essenciais para gerenciar a condição de forma eficaz. Se você foi diagnosticado com monocitopenia, o acompanhamento regular com seu médico pode ajudar a monitorar sua saúde e minimizar os riscos.
