Hypersegmentední is a term used in hematology to describe a morphological abnormality of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. Specifically, it refers to neutrophils that have an increased number of nuclear lobes, typically six or more, or a non-segmented nucleus. In normal neutrophils, the nucleus usually consists of three to five lobes connected by thin filaments. The presence of hypersegmented neutrophils can be observed in peripheral blood smears examined under a microscope. This finding is not a disease in itself but rather an indicator that may point to an underlying condition.
Several factors can lead to the development of hypersegmented neutrophils. One of the most common causes is
The identification of hypersegmented neutrophils prompts further investigation to determine the underlying cause. Diagnosis typically involves
