Test Shows Immature Granulocytes. What Does This Mean? Have Diabetes And High Blood Pressure
I just received test results which referenced my immature granulocytes at .10. The test indicated the range should be.00 - .04 bil/l. Past results going back to 2009 was consistent at .07. March 2013 was .04. I do need (and will) make an appointment with doctor on Monday but, I will be curious of what this is and means untill then.
I am a 56 yr old mail with diabetes and high blood pressure. Could you provide some information what the means and if my result was high (and why so low a few months back). Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.
Usually the blood has mature granulocytes in it and a small amount of immature granulocytes.
Immature granulocytes show up in the blood in higher numbers during an infection, this happens for a short period and then the number goes back down.
I recommend you have another blood test in around 1-2 weeks time, if the immature granulocytes number has still not gone down, I recommend you see a haemotologist.
I hope this answered your question.
