Of course! A vital part of the complete blood count (CBC), the Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC), also known as “leukocyte differentiation analysis,” measures the various white blood cell (leukocyte) subtypes found in the blood, such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Since each of these cell types has a unique function in the immune response and inflammation, the DLC is an invaluable diagnostic and monitoring tool for a wide range of illnesses, such as inflammatory diseases, infections, and immune system problems.
The description of the leukocyte differentiation study emphasizes the importance of cardiovascular health by mentioning “health heart diagnostics” (HHD). Increased concentrations of specific white blood cell types, such as monocytes and neutrophils, may be a sign of systemic inflammation, a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
