Immature Granulocytes %
Immature granulocytes expressed as a percentage of all white blood cells. This is the proportion of young, not-yet-mature granulocyte cells in circulation, reported alongside the absolute count.
Why it matters: The percentage of immature granulocytes tends to rise when the body increases white-cell production, such as during infection or inflammation. It is normally very low and is read together with the absolute count and the rest of the white blood cell differential.

What is Immature Granulocytes %?
Immature granulocytes expressed as a percentage of all white blood cells. This is the proportion of young, not-yet-mature granulocyte cells in circulation, reported alongside the absolute count.
What might a high or low Immature Granulocytes % mean?
The percentage of immature granulocytes tends to rise when the body increases white-cell production, such as during infection or inflammation. It is normally very low and is read together with the absolute count and the rest of the white blood cell differential.
What is the typical reference range for Immature Granulocytes %?
The general-population reference range shown here is 0 – 0.5 %. Reference ranges describe the general population and are not a personal target — discuss your results with your physician.
What can affect Immature Granulocytes %?
It may be higher with: Infection, Inflammation, Physical stress on the body, Pregnancy. It may be lower with: Resolution of an underlying infection or inflammation.
