Ensure your health status and gain insight into your immune system with B-cell testing, white blood count (WBC).
This health test provides a detailed analysis of your white blood cells, which is crucial for monitoring your immune system and identifying any abnormalities that may indicate underlying health issues.
What analyses are included in the B-cell and differential WBC count?
The B-cell test includes differential counts of the following types of white blood cells, also see reference ranges:
- B-White Blood Cells: Normal values range between 3.5 - 8.8 x 10<sup>9</sup>/L. These cells play a central role in the body's immune defense.
- B-Neutrophil Granulocytes: With reference values of 1.6 - 5.9 x 10<sup>9</sup>/L, these are vital for fighting infections.
- B-Lymphocytes: Normal ranges are 1.1 - 3.5 x 10<sup>9</sup>/L. Lymphocytes are crucial for the body's adaptive immune response.
- B-Monocytes: These cells, ranging from 0.2 - 0.8 x 10<sup>9</sup>/L, are important for removing dead or damaged cells and fighting certain types of infections.
- B-Eosinophil Granulocytes: With a reference value of less than 0.5 x 10<sup>9</sup>/L, these are involved in the body's response to allergies and parasitic infections.
- B-Basophil Granulocytes: These are the least common with normal values under 0.1 x 10<sup>9</sup>/L and play a role in allergic reactions.
Why should you choose a WBC test?
By analyzing these different types of white blood cells, our test can provide valuable information about your current health status and help in the early detection of potential immune-related conditions. A venous blood sample is a safe, fast, and effective way to get a snapshot of how well your immune system is functioning.
The B-cell test is recommended for:
- Individuals who desire a comprehensive evaluation of their immune defense status.
- People with symptoms of infection or inflammation who wish for a clearer diagnosis.
- Those following up on existing health conditions or treating specific diseases related to the immune system.
- Health-conscious individuals who want regular updates on their health.
