The human body is so perfect thateven the smallest part of it fulfills its function. And everyone knows the fact that many diseases at an early stage are asymptomatic. Today, there are many ways to diagnose diseases at an early stage. It is the general blood test that can signal in a timely manner about the changes that have arisen in the body, therefore it is recommended to periodically give blood.
Лейкоциты как составляющие крови отвечают за protective functions of the body and participate in the immune system. The change in their quantitative composition indicates that the immune system does not cope with its functions and an inflammatory process takes place in the body. In this case, additional diagnosis is needed to find the source of inflammation. A very important evaluation factor in the general analysis of blood is the number of eosinophils.
Eosinophils are single blood cells.of the types of leukocytes, they are responsible for protecting the human body from foreign protein. They are usually calculated as a percentage of the total number of leukocytes. The normal ratio of them is from 0.5 to 5% of the total number of leukocytes. With allergic reactions and infection of the body with helminths, this indicator rises, so-called eosinophilia occurs.
Бывают случаи, когда эозинофилы понижены, такая pathology is called eosinopenia. A decrease in their number in the postoperative period is a sign of the serious condition of the patient. Also, eosinophils are lowered with exacerbation of various infectious diseases or severe intoxication of the body. Eosinopenia in humans occurs when stressful situations arise, when the body’s resistance is reduced. Very often there are cases when eosinophils are lowered during pregnancy. In this case, if all other components of the blood correspond to the norm, eosinopenia is explained by a rearrangement in the body of a woman preparing to become a mother. However, in all women, eosinophils are reduced during pregnancy, and a sharp decrease in their number can occur directly during childbirth. The same sharp decrease in eosinophils occurs when severe burns occur.
The mechanism of eosinopenia and its consequencesmodern medicine has not been fully studied, and the causes that lead to a decrease in eosinophils are called a whole lot of doctors. Therefore, when eosinophils are lowered in the blood, the treatment is advisory. In particular, eosinopenia in combination with leukocytosis indicates active inflammation in the human body, most likely at the initial stage. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to conduct further diagnosis in order to understand why eosinophils are lowered.
Eosinopenia occurs much less frequently.eosinophilia, because the description of its effects are less common. But in fact, and in another case, a mandatory consultation with a specialist is necessary. Recent studies have shown that eosinophils are lowered during treatment with corticosteroid hormones, which is prescribed for acute allergic reactions. Children more often have an increase in the number of eosinophils than a decrease. The exception is children with Down syndrome. Often, eosinophils in the blood are lowered in premature babies in combination with sepsis.
Minor fluctuations in quantitative compositioneosinophils occur during the day, their number increases at night. The age factor also makes its own changes in their quantitative composition, although the percentage ratio to white blood cells remains constant.
