What this test measures

This section shows the biological marker/agent measured by this diagnostic test. Each marker/agent opens its own page with related conditions. Detailed reference ranges are shown separately in the Reference ranges and concentrations section below, so they are not repeated here.

Reference ranges and concentrations

7

These ranges are pulled from the existing EH diagnostic-test reference range tables. They can vary by laboratory, method, age, sex, sample type and clinical situation.

Biological marker/agent / concentration	Reference range	Unit	Age	Gender	Category / test group
Band or Stab cells	3 – 6	%	Adult ( > 16y)	Both	Blood Studies / White Blood Cell Tests
Basophils	0 – 1	%	Adult ( > 16y)	Both	Blood Studies / White Blood Cell Tests
Eosinophils	0 – 3	%	Adult ( > 16y)	Both	Blood Studies / White Blood Cell Tests
Lymphocytes	25 – 40	%	Adult ( > 16y)	Both	Blood Studies / White Blood Cell Tests
Metamyelocytes	0 – 1	%	Adult ( > 16y)	Both	Blood Studies / White Blood Cell Tests
Monocytes	3 – 7	%	Adult ( > 16y)	Both	Blood Studies / White Blood Cell Tests
Segmented Neutrophils	50 – 62	%	Adult ( > 16y)	Both	Blood Studies / White Blood Cell Tests
