Monocytes are one "flavor" of white blood cells in the human body. In a complete blood count, their numbers are reported in two different ways, as a percentage, and as a total number. The latter is the absolute count.

Monocytes Absolute refers to the number of monocytes in a blood sample. Monocytes are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections. High levels of monocytes may indicate an ongoing infection, autoimmune disorder, or certain types of cancer. Further testing is usually needed to determine the underlying cause of elevated monocytes.

Mild absolute monocytosis means there is a slight increase in the number of monocytes in the bloodstream. It may indicate an inflammatory response to an infection or other underlying medical conditions. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the cause of monocytosis.
monocytes are elevated in infections like tuberculosis
Monocytes mature into different types of macrophages.
No they are not. Granculocytes have granules e.g. neutrophil. Lymphocytes and monocytes do not.
Monocytes may be elevated in chronic inflammation.
Macrophages arise from circulating monocytes in the bloodstream. Upon reaching tissues, monocytes mature into macrophages, which play a key role in the immune response by phagocytizing pathogens and debris, and regulating inflammation and immune system activation.
MACROPHAGES (Some Monocytes enter tissue, enlarge, and Mature into Macrophages).
Monocytes and lymphocytes are examples of agranulocytes. They do not contain visible granules in their cytoplasm, unlike granulocytes like neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.
Neutrophils are increased and all else is normal.
