Monocytes details
What Monocytes shows
Monocytes are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infection, clear damaged or dead cells, and coordinate broader immune responses; when they migrate into tissues, they mature into macrophages, which perform many of these same functions locally. This test counts the actual number of monocytes in your blood as part of a complete blood count (CBC) with differential. Elevated monocyte counts can occur with chronic infections, inflammatory conditions, recovery from acute infection, or, less commonly, certain blood disorders.
