The IG% Includes Immature Cells Indicative Of A Myeloid Left
The IG% includes immature cells indicative of a myeloid left shift. NOT included in the IG% are bands and blasts. The IG% has a strong negative predictive value in that if the IG% is less than 2.0, you can be assured that there is not a significant myeloid left shift. If the IG% is greater than 2.0, a manual differential will be performed in which bands and immature myeloid cells will be separately enumerated.
