Granulocyte Reserve

**Granulocyte reserve** is a collection of mature neutrophils that are stored in the blood vessels and organs of our body in anticipation of rapid inflammation to combat it. Our immune system is made up of different types of cells, but it is neutrophils that help protect the body from infections.

A complete blood count (CBC) may include a total neutrophil count (ANC)

Blood is the lifeblood of the body, and it performs many functions: it carries oxygen and nutrients to all tissues, removing waste and carbon dioxide from them; takes part in the regulation of body temperature, thanks to the timely removal of excess heat; participates in metabolism and

The granulocyte reserve is a collection of mature forms of granulocytes - neutrophils or predominantly neutrophilic blood cells - that are found in the bloodstream and deposited in various organs to maintain a constant concentration of this type of leukocyte in the bloodstream.

Granulocytes are an important component of the immune system. They are involved in protecting the body from infections and other external factors. In addition, granulocytes can be used as biomarkers in assessing human health and diagnosing various diseases.

The content of granulocytes in the blood has its own patterns, for example, it can change in certain diseases. Thus, with HIV infection, the number of granulocytes decreases, which is one of the diagnostic signs of this disease. Also, a change in the number of granulocytes is observed in liver diseases, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.

Normally, granulocytes circulate in the bloodstream for 12 hours and are then destroyed in the spleen or liver. If a malfunction occurs in the functioning of organs, then the number of mature cells begins to increase sharply, and their death in these organs slows down. Thus, the level of granulocytes increases because the body does not have time to use the cells to protect against infections.

Some people take granulocytes as a treatment for various conditions, although taking this medication may carry a risk of side effects. However, this view
