Low granulocyte levels, a condition known as granulocytopenia, indicate a reduced number of granulocytes, a type of white blood cell crucial for fighting infections. This can result from various factors, including bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, certain medications, or infections that affect bone marrow function. Individuals with low granulocyte counts may be more susceptible to infections and may require monitoring and treatment depending on the underlying cause.

Is a mast cell a granulocyte?

No, Mast Cells are not granulocytes. The terms "granulocyte" and "agranulocyte" refer to circulation cells. Masts cells, though they have granules, are found in tissues- not the circulation.


The granulocyte percent in your complete blood count is high what does this mean?

The normal range for granulocyte percentage is 45.5 - 79.7%, which translates into a normal granulocyte count of 2.2 - 8.8 x 10^3/uL. Granulocytopenia is an abnormally low concentration of granulocytes in the blood. This condition reduces the body's resistance to many infections. Closely-related terms include agranulocytosis (no granulocytes at all) and neutropenia (deficiency of neutrophil granulocytes). Transfusion of granulocytes would have been a solution to the problem. However, granulocytes live only ~10 hours in the circulation (for days in spleen or other tissue), which gives a very short-lasting effect. In addition, there are many complications of such a procedure. If you have a high percentage be happy!!!cheers
