WBC - as denoted by the white blood cells in a blood test, which allows decoding to identify the disease and to choose effective therapy. At a blood analysis the composition leukocyteThen assessed health status.
Designation in the analysis
The general analysis of blood leucocytes designation is as follows - WBC. These Latin letters denote the number of white blood cells. The deviation from the norm is a sign of inflammation.
neutrophils
White blood cells in the blood are divided into several types. NEUT abbreviation used to refer to neutrophil - the largest group of a number of leukocyte cells. Cells Neutrophils defend the body against bacteria and eliminate inflammation. NEUT sharp rise in blood in adults and children may indicate the development of an acute infectious lesions.
eosinophils
These cells are constantly being developed in the bone marrow. In decoding the analysis of blood, they are written correctly as the EO. Once eosinophil cell matures, it enters the bloodstream and then into fabric, wherein the body and destroy foreign substances. Study of the quantitative composition of eosinophils allows us to understand the condition of the immune system.
If the number of eosinophils decreased, therefore, the body attacks an acute viral infection. Increased performance characteristic of the state where eosinophils are actively fighting against harmful microbes.
basophils
To refer to white blood cells in blood tests related to a small group of basophils, the word BASO. Basophils are responsible for the fight against allergens. When they enter the body recognize the allergen and basophils produce biologically active substances to its destruction. Raising rates - a sign of an allergic reaction.
monocytes
MONO - this combination of letters are designated leukocytes in a blood test in a child and an adult. Monocytes are the largest group of leukocyte cells. They absorb toxins and microbes. When elevated levels of blood MONO diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis. This condition occurs on a background of inflammation, bone marrow abnormalities, infectious lesions.
lymphocytes
Lymphocytes (write lymph) - the most active defense cells. Their place of development is the bone marrow and spleen. From there they enter the bloodstream and lymphatic flow, finding new foreign bodies, form immunity to diseases that have already been transferred.
The medicine can be divided into several types of cells, have letter designations:
- B - are foreign agents and produce antibodies destroy structures representing a threat to the organism;
- T - normalize cellular immunity;
- NK - destroying cells exposed to infection.
Decoding performance
Leukocyte level in the blood depends on the diet, the time of day, age. In some cases, the deviation caused by gender and are considered the norm.
The norm in the body
The normal white blood cell count in adults and children is different - in the child's body leukocytes more. Designation of leukocytes in the normal table for adults:
| type of white blood cells | Norm |
| neutrophils | from 47 to 72% |
| lymphocytes | from 19 to 37% |
| monocytes | from 3 to 11% |
| eosinophils | from 0.5 to 5% |
| basophils | from 0 to 1% |
Normal adult human leukocytes in absolute units - 4 * 109 / l to 9 * 109 / l.
Normal rates for children:
- grudnichki - from 10 to 25 * 109 / L;
- during the first three years of life - from 9 to 15 * 109 / L.
As they get older indicators vary and range from 6 to 11 * 109 / L.
elevated values
Leukocytosis - a high content of leukocyte cells in the blood. Leukocytosis may be:
- natural - temporarily occurs in most people and is not a pathology, that is, to increase white blood cells small,.. develops on the background of the impact of various external factors (stress, heavy physical exertion, changes in weather conditions, pregnancy, childbirth);
- pathological - raising leucocytes 2-3 times a sign of inflammatory or infectious process.
Derated
Leykotsitopeniya - it lowered the concentration of leukocytes in the blood, which is typical for the weakening of immune functions. With such a diagnosis a person needs urgent treatment, otherwise the immune system will not be able to resist viruses, and even the common cold can cause complications.
The reasons for lowering the concentration of white blood cells in the blood are:
- pathology, strongly weakening and depleting the immune system;
- progressive course of infection, that lead to death in a large number of leukocytes, the body is not able to recover them;
- lack of vitamins, trace elements.
Deciphering the blood test by components leukocyte - an effective method of assessing the state of the immune system and control of the changes. Indicators quantitative content-leukocyte cells can diagnose the disease, which is already present in the body, as well as a prophylaxis of diseases which might arise. If irregularities are revealed on the background of the absence of any abnormalities, you can restore the body's defenses doctor may recommend an adjustment of diet and intake of vitamin B complex.
