The<unk>  or<unk>  index describes the nucleus of a type of white blood cell called a neutrophil in an attempt to detect disease. Neutrophils typically have two or three lobes. In general, older neutrophils have more lobes than younger neutrophils. The<unk>  determines the percentage of neutrophils with one, two, three, four, and five or more lobes. * Individuals who have a larger percentage of neutrophils with fewer lobes have a left shift which can be indicative of disease processes such as infection, malignant tumors, hemolytic crises, myocardial infarction, acidosis, etc. * Individuals with a larger percentage of neutrophils with more lobes have a right shift and most commonly have diseases such as vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, chronic uremia, liver disease, etc. The<unk>  is not commonly used in modern medicine. It is named for Josef<unk> .
