Immature Granulocyte Count

CalculatedFiller

How many immature white cells are in a set volume of blood.

The absolute form of the percentage reported beside it, and equally rarely acted on.

This one isn’t a test

Immature Granulocyte Count = WBC count × Immature granulocyte %

No extra sample was taken for this and no extra assay was run. It is arithmetic on numbers already on your report, but it still adds a line to the advertised test count.

Computed from WBC Count and Immature Granulocytes.

That does not make the number useless: eGFR is calculated and doctors act on it every day. It means it should not be counted as a separate test when you are comparing what a package costs.
