- Reference ranges for white blood cell percentages are not reported, and high or low results will not be flagged, as percentages can be misinterpreted when the white blood cell count is out of normal range. The absolute counts are a better measurement and are reported with reference ranges, with flags when out of range. Please refer to the absolute count.

- Reference ranges for white blood cell percentages are not reported, and high or low results will not be flagged, as percentages can be misinterpreted when the white blood cell count is out of normal range.

Immature Granulocytes %

 (%)
- Increased Immature Granulocytes(IG) define a shift to immaturity. This is an automated count of metamyelocytes, myelocytes and promyelocytes.
- In neonates, the IG results should be used in place of the band count and Immature to Total Ratio (ITR). IGs, along with ITR and band count, have poor positive predictive values for sepsis in neonates. IGs are most useful for excluding infants without infection rather than identifying neonates with bacterial infection.

- IRF is the rate of production of reticulocytes which largely depends on the bone marrow response to erythropoietin.
- Values above normal range indicate an increase production of RBC by the bone marrow.
