WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS THAT LAB ANALYSIS SHOWS ELEVATED WBC COUNT WITH A LEFT SHIFT?EXPLAIN BRIEFLY PLEASE...

left shifh is said in respect to the maturation index.

in acute infection or in leuemias there is less mature cells into the blood stream. so the maturation index moves towards the less mature cells side, that is left side of the x axis.

we take maturation of wbc on the x axis and no of cells on the y axis
