Basophils %
Explanation: Basophils are a type of white blood cell that help the immune system respond to infections, allergies, and inflammation. They release histamine and other chemicals that play a role in allergic reactions and defense against pathogens.
Test purpose: A basophil blood test is part of a complete blood count (CBC). High basophil count (basophilia) may indicate allergic reactions, infections, inflammatory diseases, or blood disorders.
- Detect allergic reactions (e.g., hay fever, asthma).
- Identify chronic inflammation (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis).
- Detect myeloproliferative diseases.
- Assess immune system function.
