  2. Band cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_cell

    A band cell (also called band neutrophil, band form or stab cell) is a cell undergoing granulopoiesis, derived from a metamyelocyte, and leading to a mature granulocyte. It is characterized by having a curved but not lobular nucleus. [1] The term "band cell" implies a granulocytic lineage (e.g., neutrophils). [2]

  3. Left shift (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_shift_(medicine)

    The standard definition of a left shift is an absolute band form count greater than 7700/microL. [3] There are competing explanations for the origin of the phrase "left shift," including the left-most button arrangement of early cell sorting machines [4] [5] and a 1920s publication by Josef Arneth, containing a graph in which immature neutrophils, with fewer segments, shifted the median left. [6]

  4. Absolute neutrophil count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_neutrophil_count

    The ANC is almost always a part of a larger blood panel called the complete blood count. The ANC is calculated from measurements of the total number of white blood cells (WBC), usually based on the combined percentage of mature neutrophils (sometimes called "segs", or segmented cells) and bands, which are immature neutrophils.

  5. Neutrophil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrophil

    Neutrophils may be subdivided into segmented neutrophils and banded neutrophils (or bands). They form part of the polymorphonuclear cells family (PMNs) together with basophils and eosinophils. [3] [4] [5] The name neutrophil derives from staining characteristics on hematoxylin and eosin histological or cytological preparations.

  6. Complete blood count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_blood_count

    Blood film from a person with chronic myeloid leukemia: many immature and abnormal white blood cells are visible. An increased number of band neutrophils—young neutrophils that lack segmented nuclei—or immature granulocytes is termed left shift and occurs in sepsis and some blood disorders, but is normal in pregnancy.

  7. White blood cell differential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_blood_cell_differential

    A white blood cell differential is a medical laboratory test that provides information about the types and amounts of white blood cells in a person's blood. The test, which is usually ordered as part of a complete blood count (CBC), measures the amounts of the five normal white blood cell types – neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils – as well as abnormal cell ...

  8. Granulocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulocyte

    Mature neutrophils are smaller than monocytes, and have a segmented nucleus with several sections(two to five segments); each section is connected by chromatin filaments. Neutrophils do not normally exit the bone marrow until maturity, but during an infection neutrophil precursors called myelocytes and promyelocytes are released. [9]

  9. Myelodysplastic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelodysplastic_syndrome

    Some types of MDS cause an increase in the production of immature blood cells (called blasts), in the bone marrow or blood. [3] The different types of MDS are identified based on the specific characteristics of the changes in the blood cells and bone marrow. [3]
