polys or PMN's - polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Cells that contain large visible granules are sometimes called granulocytes. They can be separated into 3 distinct cell lines, based on the reaction of the granules to the most commonly used stain in Hematology, the Wright stain. The stain is a pH based stain. Structures that favor the basic stain stain dark blue or basophilic; while those that favor the acid stain, eosin, stain bright red-orange. Some structures seem indifferent to the stain and are called neutral. The most numerous cell line of the granulocytes contain both light blue and light pink granules. As a result they are called neutrophils. This cell line is considered the first line of defense against most bacteria. It takes 6 steps for this cell to mature from a myeloblast to a fully mature cell. There have been several different ways to identify these cells so the following names are more or less synonymous: The most mature cells is called polymorphonuclear leukocytes (polys or PMN's) or segmented neutrophils (segs). One step from fully mature is the band or nonsegmented cell. Both these cells types are functional; the older one seems just a little bit faster. These cells are usually between 50 - 70% of all of the cells seen in a normal differential performed on an adult. These numbers do not work for infants and young children.
In a hematology test, poly is the neutrophils. Neutrophils are also known as polymorph nuclear leukocytes. The neutrophils are the bacterial infections fighting white blood cells.
my polys is low at what causes?
Polys are short for polymorphonuclear leukocytes also known as neutrophils. When someone has a blood test to test their differential white blood cell count and they results indicate high polys that the white blood cell count is high. White blood cells fight infection.
It has something to do with white blood count
What is RCW, in blood test.
This would depend on what kind of test result is needed: a physical exam result, a school test, a blood test, etc. If it concerns a test result due to blood or other test, you can request the result from the family physician. If the test result concerns education, this is up to the teacher or professor but you can ask..
It will normally take one or two days to get the result of a pregnancy blood test. This test will be carried out at your doctor's surgery.
If blood touches the test strip it can affect the outcome of the test.
It depends on what blood test you had and how quick the labatory is at sending out blood test results. Below is basic information about how long it takes before you get a test result: * Qualiative Blood Test - 5-7 days after blood test has been performed you will get your result. * Quantitative Beta HCG Blood Test - 3-5 days after the blood test has been performed you will get your result.
hi please could you tell me if my estrogen blood test result is normal its 1.78
My latest blood test after fasting 8 hrs is 108
Yes
there is always an error factor but with a blood test you can be pretty sure its correct.
