Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Does anyone know what it means if one has degenerated WBC's? I am assuming that this means that they are damaged. I have had blood tests come back that the ABC's are so degenerated that a manual diff cannot be done on them. My WBC count is also very low - 2, where the low end of the range is 4. My dr and I checked out the possibility that the speciman might have been damaged by the lab, thus causing degradation of the speciman, but this does not look like it could have occurred. If degenerated WBC's could indicate certain diseases, what other abnormal lab results should I be looking for that indicate these diseases? (I have not heard that PWC's have degenerated cells, but have heard that their WBC count can be low) To me this means that there is something wrong with the bone marrow.
