Monocytosis is an increase in the number of monocytes circulating in the blood. [1] Monocytes are white blood cells that give rise to macrophages and dendritic cells in the immune system. In humans, monocytosis occurs when there is a sustained rise in monocyte counts greater than 800/mm 3 to 1000/mm 3. [2]
The white blood cell differential is a common blood test that is often ordered alongside a complete blood count.The test may be performed as part of a routine medical examination; to investigate certain symptoms, particularly those suggestive of infection or hematological disorders; [5] [6] or to monitor existing conditions, such as blood disorders and inflammatory diseases.
Estrogen, progesterone, and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels throughout pregnancy. Estrogen, progesterone, and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17α-OHP) levels during pregnancy in women. [ 1 ] The dashed vertical lines separate the trimesters .
The monoblast is the first stage of monocyte-macrophage maturation. The developmental stages of the monoblast are: CFU-GM (pluripotential hemopoietic stem cell or hemocytoblast) -> monoblast -> promonocyte-> monocyte-> macrophage/dendritic cell. During their development, monocytes are present in large packs in all of the lymph nodes in the body ...
Monocyte distribution width (MDW) is a cytometry-based parameter that measures the range of variation of monocytes. If the parameter is available, it is reported as part of the standard complete blood count (CBC) with differential. [1] The parameter was FDA cleared as an early sepsis indicator for ER patients in 2019 for Beckman Coulter. [2] [3]
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Monocyte and granulocyte disease | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Monocyte and granulocyte disease | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Monocytopenia is a form of leukopenia associated with a deficiency of monocytes. It has been proposed as a measure during chemotherapy to predict neutropenia, [1] though some research indicates that it is less effective than lymphopenia. [2]
Illustrated schematic of monocytes, monocyte-derived macrophages, and liver-resident Kupffer cells. Monocytes and macrophages are mononuclear phagocytes. Monocytes circulate in the blood and are capable of differentiating into macrophages or dendritic cells, and macrophages are terminally differentiated tissue-resident cells.
