Clinicians order Neutrophils % as part of a CBC differential to check your immune response. It helps assess infections, inflammation, stress reactions, or medicine effects. Results guide next steps, like repeating the test, reviewing symptoms, or checking related markers. You can test this marker with Aniva across Germany and Finland.

High: May appear with bacterial infections, acute inflammation, physical or emotional stress, smoking, or corticosteroid use.
Low: May occur with some viral infections, bone marrow suppression, autoimmune conditions, or certain medicines; when very low, infection risk can rise. Ranges vary by lab; your symptoms and trends over time matter most. If results are unexpected, consider a repeat test and review your medications with your clinician.
Common factors that can skew results include recent infections, strenuous exercise, smoking, dehydration, and stress. Medicines matter: corticosteroids, lithium, and G-CSF can raise counts; chemotherapy and some immunosuppressants can lower them. Pregnancy and the postpartum period can shift white cell percentages. Let the lab know about recent illness, vaccines, or antibiotics.
Special situations: if you’re acutely unwell, pregnant, or receiving chemotherapy, confirm results with a repeat test and consider the absolute neutrophil count for context.
What does a high or low Neutrophils % mean? High often points to infection, inflammation, stress, or steroid effects. Low can happen with some viruses, certain medicines, or bone marrow issues.
Do I need to fast for this test? No. You can eat and drink normally unless your clinician advises otherwise.
What can affect my results? Recent illness, hard exercise, smoking, dehydration, and medicines like steroids or chemotherapy can change the percentage.
How often should I test it? Most people test only when symptoms or treatments warrant. Your clinician may repeat it to confirm changes or track recovery.
How long do results take? Results are typically ready within 1–2 business days.
What should I discuss with my clinician? Share recent symptoms, infections, vaccines, and all medicines or supplements. Ask whether the absolute neutrophil count adds helpful context.
