In the 'Lab Values - Cells' section of our in-depth questionnaire we ask the following question about your neutrophil count:
 |
 |
 |
|
White Blood Cells - Neutrophil Percentage [fraction]. If you only have the absolute neutrophil count (ANC), divide white blood cell count (WBC) by ANC, and multiply by 100.

Your answer |
...indicates |
...and suggests |
| 1. |
"Don't know" |

| 2. |
"Under 40% [0.40] (low)" |
Low neutrophil count |
A symptom |
| 3. |
"40 to 70% [0.40-0.70] (normal)" |

GLOSSARY
Neutrophils (Neutrophil)
Another name for polymorphonuclear leukocytes, the most common type of blood-carried white blood cell, and the first mobile resistance cell to come to the rescue in injury.
White Blood Cell (WBC, White Blood Cells)
A blood cell that does not contain hemoglobin: a blood corpuscle responsible for maintaining the body's immune surveillance system against invasion by foreign substances such as viruses or bacteria. White cells become specifically programmed against foreign invaders and work to inactivate and rid the body of a foreign substance. White blood cells are composed primarily of neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are either T-cells or B-cells. T-cells (CD3 cells) are divided into T-helper (CD4 cells) and T-suppressor/cytotoxic (CD8 cells) cells.
