Which white blood cell have multilobed nuclei?
Neutrophils.
What is Monocytes Absolute and what are the risk of them being high?
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.
Are lymphocytes and monocytes granulocytes?

Are monocytes active in chronic inflammation?
Monocytes may be elevated in chronic inflammation.
What does it mean when monocytes are slightly high?
monocytes are high in bacterial & parasitic inf.
What are immature monocytes?
