What does a high segmented neut pct mean?

A high segmented neutrophil percentage (neut pct) typically indicates an increased response to infection, inflammation, or stress. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the body's defense against pathogens. Elevated levels can be seen in conditions like bacterial infections, trauma, or certain inflammatory diseases. It's important to interpret this finding in conjunction with other clinical data and laboratory results for a comprehensive assessment.
