  2. 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]

  3. Leukocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukocytosis

    Leukocytosis is a condition in which the white cell count is above the normal range in the blood. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is frequently a sign of an inflammatory response , [ 3 ] most commonly the result of infection , but may also occur following certain parasitic infections or bone tumors as well as leukemia .

  4. Neutrophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrophilia

    Neutrophilia (also called neutrophil leukocytosis or occasionally neutrocytosis) is leukocytosis of neutrophils, that is, a high number of neutrophils in the blood. [1] Because neutrophils are the main type of granulocytes , mentions of granulocytosis often overlap in meaning with neutrophilia.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Bandemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandemia

    Bandemia refers to an excess or increased levels of band cells (immature white blood cells) released by the bone marrow into the blood.It thus overlaps with the concept of left shift—bandemia is a principal type of left shift and many (perhaps most) clinical mentions of the latter refer to instances of this type.

  7. Band cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_cell

    The increase of band cells in the circulation is called bandemia and is a "left shift" process. Blood reference ranges for neutrophilic band cells in adults are 3 to 5% of white blood cells , [ 3 ] or up to 0.7 × 10 9 /L. [ 4 ]

  8. Absolute neutrophil count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_neutrophil_count

    While many clinicians refer to the presence of neutrophilia as a "left shift", this is imprecise, as a left shift indicates the presence of immature neutrophil forms, [citation needed] but neutrophilia refers to the entire mass of neutrophils, both mature and immature. Neutrophilia can be indicative of:

  9. Chronic myelogenous leukemia - Wikipedia

    Chronic myeloid leukemia in a 4 years old female. Peripheral blood (MGG stain) Peripheral blood (MGG stain): marked leukocytosis with granulocyte left shift A small, hypolobated megakaryocyte (center of field) in a bone marrow aspirate, characteristic of chronic myeloid leukemia.
