That has never been on my blood tests. The only thing I could find online is that MO is the atomic abbreviation for an element called Molybdenum that is defined as an "essential trace element" in the nutrition of plants and animals and which is available in supplements sold by health food stores. It is also used to make metal alloys.

Hi:
Even if he won't take time with you, you should call his office and ask to have your test results sent to your primary care doc, and then call or visit him/her to get explanations of that and anything else that you wonder about. I've never seen that on mine either...
let us know what you find out,
patti

Curious -- is the "MO" listed at/near WBC (white blood cell count)?? Thinking it may be referring to Monocytes, specifically if your dr. routinely orders a WBC differential (fairly common for psoriatics). Highs in any of the WBC components typically indicates infection/inflammation.

Hope that helps!! :)
