Neutrophils %

What This Marker Means

This percentage shows how much of your immune system response is focused on short-term, acute defense. High percentages can reflect stress, infection, or inflammation.

How Alcohol Affects This Marker

Alcohol can skew this percentage by increasing inflammation or suppressing other immune cells. Binge drinking often raises neutrophil percentage temporarily.

How to Discuss With Your Doctor

Ask whether your neutrophil percentage aligns with your absolute count. Mention heavy drinking episodes that could influence inflammation.
