A member asked:

I am concerned about a cbc panel showing immature granulocytes 1.2% and absolute .10 should i be worried? my np said the test was normal but those numbers are scary. wbc= 8.2 rbc=4.29 everything else is normal

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why the fear?...: Lab results usually are numbers, and numbers are just numbers, with little meaning unless a doctor takes in the whole picture of what's going on with a patient. If a patient's blood cell count is mildly higher-or-lower than the Reference Range, the doctor may or may not consider the result abnormal, depending on the patient's previous results, symptoms, preliminary diagnosis, and medications.
