This test is performed:

  1. To diagnose neutrophilia or neutropenia
  2. As a part of complete blood count (CBC)
  3. To screen for a number of conditions
  4. To monitor the efficacy of treatment.
  • Sample collection: Blood sample is collected from a vein by a healthcare professional and stored in a sterilized tube
  • The sample is sent to laboratory for further analysis.
  1. What is neutropenia and neutrophilia?

Neutropenia is the abnormal decrease in the concentration of neutrophils (WBC) while Neutrophilia is the abnormal increase in the concentration of neutrophils.

 

  1. What are the symptoms of neutropenia?
