What is a normal Neutrophils level?
A typical reference range is 1,800–7,700 cells/µL. Ranges vary between laboratories and can depend on age and sex, so compare your result with the range printed on your own report.
What does a high Neutrophils level mean?
Bacterial infection, physical stress, steroid use. A single result rarely gives a diagnosis on its own; your doctor will interpret it alongside your symptoms and other tests.
What does a low Neutrophils level mean?
Neutropenia: viral infection, chemotherapy, autoimmune disease. Your doctor will interpret it alongside your symptoms and other tests.
About the Complete Blood Count (CBC)
A complete blood count looks at the cells in your blood: red cells that carry oxygen, white cells that fight infection, and platelets that help blood clot. It is one of the most commonly ordered tests and is often part of a routine check-up.
