Overview of Blood Differential Tests

There are numerous bacteria in our environment which makes us fall sick. During this time, our body’s immune system acts as a guard to these intruders and fight them back. One of the key components of these immune systems is #WhiteBloodCells. These #WBC helps to stop the infections and protects us from falling ill. There are many types of #BloodTests available to determine the underlying cause of a disease, of these blood differential tests are used to identify any abnormal or immature cells in the human body.

The following are the different types of White Blood Cells which help to prevent any kind of infections and stop any harmful reaction that causes to your body.

#Neutrophil 

This type of #WhiteBloodCell helps stop the infections caused by the microorganisms by eating them and destroying them with the help of enzymes.

#Lymphocyte

It contains two types of cells namely, B-Cell lymphocyte and T-Cell lymphocyte which uses antibodies that helps to prevent bacteria or viruses from entering into the body and kills off cancerous cells respectively.

#Monocyte

It helps to increase the immune system’s strength and get rid of dead cells and destroy the microorganisms by eating them.

#Eosinophil

It actively responds during any parasite infections or allergic reactions which controls the inflammation and stops harming the body caused by the foreign substances.

#Basophil

It produces a vital substance known as enzymes during an asthma attack or an allergic reaction.

If you have an infection, inflammation or an autoimmune disease or a #BoneMarrowDisorder, your doctor may order for a #BloodDifferentialTests in addition to your #CompleteBloodCount tests. Here the doctor carefully analyses the count of each type of #WhiteBloodCells. If any one type is not within the normal range and shows abnormal results either too low count or very high than normal, then the treatment follows accordingly.

However, #Monocytes which is the biggest type of #WhiteBloodCell plays a vital role in fighting off a #bacteria, #viruses and #fungi. These are originally formed in the #BoneMarrow and are transferred to the #blood and #tissues. It is important to check on the values of what is the monocytes in the blood test to lower your risks for any #infections. Though lab values vary, in general the #monocytes white blood cells for healthy people range anywhere between 0 to 9 percent of #WhiteBloodCells.
