What’s with the 0.8 percentage of naïve granulocytes?

Naïve granulocyte percentage of 0.8 is greater than normal, may be caused by physiological increase, infection, chronic granulocytic leukemia and so on.
The earliest stage of granulocyte is naïve granulocyte, the percentage of naïve granulocyte in blood routine refers to the proportion of immature granulocyte in peripheral blood to all granulocyte, the normal range is 0%~0.6%, naïve granulocyte is divided into primitive granulocyte, early juvenile granulocyte, middle juvenile granulocyte, late juvenile granulocyte and so on.
1. Physiological increase: such as after strenuous exercise, physical labor or emotional tension, etc. can lead to a mild increase in naïve leukocytes, such as no other discomforts or other items of the routine blood test is normal, regular recheck can be.
2. Infections: elevated percentage of naïve granulocytes suggests that the body has infectious diseases, the body produces a large number of white blood cells to fight against infections, and a lot of immature granulocytes enter the peripheral blood in advance.
3. Chronic granulocytic leukemia: it is a malignant myeloproliferative neoplasm that occurs in many kinds of hematopoietic stem cells, and high percentage of naïve granulocytes is often found in the peripheral blood.
The percentage of naïve granulocytes 0.8 may also have other reasons, it is recommended to improve the examination in a timely manner, to clarify the cause of the disease and then actively standardize the treatment.
