agree  Martinique: Или segmented neutrophils, что в данном случае одно и то же // Наташ, именно segmentED (а не segmental), сразу не заметила

  -> Ага, точно - спасибо, Лена. Сама ведь раньше уже писала segmented

neutral  DrMike: this terminology is not used in medical practice. "Neutrophil" would suffice...see my comment on Maksym's post for details.

  -> I am afraid it is not so. Neutrophils are commonly identified as "bands" (immature, with a band-shaped nucleus) and "segs" (mature, with a nucleus segmented into distinct lobes).

agree  DrMike: all neutrophils are "segmented" (meaning they have multi-lobular nuclei), so I would just go with neutrophils.

  -> Thanks, but just "neutrophils" isn't enough: not all the neutrophils are segmented. Immature neutrophils (e.g. bands) aren't.

neutrophil clarification


Explanation:
Let me clarify my previous remarks. The "obshii analiz krovi" (or CBC - complete blood count) includes a part called the differential white blood count. This differential white blood count consists of the measuring the levels of the following leukocytes:

-Neutrophils
-Eosinophils
-Basophils
-Monocytes
-Lymphocytes

In this context, you don't need to differentiate between segmented and banded neutrophils. A complete blood count is not concerned with the difference between the two.

So while "segmented neutrophil" may suffice, I offer it as my opinion that simply "neutrophil" would do in this case. This way it would be consistent with the terminology currently used in the medical arena.
