An elevated white blood cell count, most often signaling infection or inflammation but occasionally a blood disorder. Blood testing detects the rise and shows which cell line is driving it.
Our comprehensive check-up screens for elevated white blood cell count (leukocytosis) and hundreds of other conditions.
The absolute count of neutrophils per liter of blood. While neutrophil percentage shows the proportion among white blood cells, the absolute count reveals the actual number available to fight infections. This is clinically essential, because a normal percentage can mask a dangerously low absolute count if total white blood cells are reduced.
NeutrophilsNeutrophils (primary bacterial fighters) respond rapidly to acute infections.
LeukocytesLeukocytes, also known as white blood cells, are crucial for immune system function: the total white blood cell count measures overall immune activity, while differential testing examines specific cell types.
ErythrocytesRed blood cells (erythrocytes) are the most abundant blood cells and carry oxygen from lungs to tissues throughout the body via hemoglobin. They have a biconcave disc shape that maximizes surface area for gas exchange.
