A breakdown of white blood cell types, useful for separating infection, inflammation, allergy, marrow, and medication context.

What it is

A white blood cell differential breaks total white blood cells into major cell types.[1,2,3]

Why it matters

It helps separate immune patterns such as neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil, monocyte, and basophil context.[1,2,3]

What it affects

  • It links CBC, infection context, inflammation, allergy, marrow production, and medication effects.[1,2,3]
  • It is a distribution map, not one cell type.[1,2,3]

Interpretation traps

  • Acute illness, medications, stress, age, and laboratory method affect interpretation.[1,2,3]
  • BioConst does not diagnose infection or blood disease from a differential.[1,2,3]
