White blood cells, one of whose representatives are neutrophils, are extremely important for the body. They perform protective functions, preventing the penetration of bacteria and viruses, the development of inflammation. Therefore, if the stab neutrophils are lowered, the work of the immune system worsens, as well as the resistance to various infectious diseases.
The stab neutrophils are lowered - the reasons for this result of a blood test
The group of white blood cells considered is immature or not fully formed neutrophils. The final concentration of all immune cells in the body depends on their quantity.
The reason that the stab neutrophils are lowered may be:
- adverse ecology;
- viral infection;
- drug addict;
- inflammatory process;
- exposure to radiation;
- anemia ;
- taking certain medications;
- neutropenia of Kostmann;
- neutrophilia;
- exogenous intoxication with poisons, lead;
- cyclic reduction of neutrophils;
- necrosis of soft tissues;
- erythremia;
- acute hemorrhage;
- chronic myeloid leukemia;
- anaphylactic shock ;
- endogenous intoxications;
- exposure to ionizing radiation;
- acute leukemia.
Symptoms of low-lying stab neutrophils and a way to increase their number
The main manifestations of neutropenia are frequent infections. As a rule, they affect the middle and outer ear, mouth, gums.
There is no single method for normalizing the number of neutrophils, since the treatment should be designed in accordance with the cause of the pathology in question. As supportive measures, the intake of B vitamins, especially B12 and B9, is prescribed, and a balanced diet is followed. It is important to constantly monitor the concentration of white blood cells, passing a weekly blood test.
