DC or Differential WBC Count

Why test for DC or Differential WBC Count at Symbion VIP Diagnostics, Ahmedabad ?

The white blood cell differential count determines the number of each type of white blood cell, present in the blood. 
It can be expressed as a percentage (relative numbers of each type of WBC in relationship to the total WBC ) or as an absolute value (percentage x total WBC). Of these, the absolute value is much more important than the relative value.

There are five basic white blood cell types:

1. Neutrophils
2. Eosinophils
3. Basophils
4. Lymphocytes
5. Monocytes

Each WBC cell type has its' own unique features.

The laboratory test results are NOT to be interpreted as results of a "stand-alone" test.

Your healthcare providers will explain the meaning of your tests results, based on the overall clinical scenario.
