24 hours after appendectomy blood of a patient presents neutrophilic leukocytosis with regenerative shift. What is the most probable mechanism of leukocytosis development?
- A. Redistribution of leukocytes in the organism
- B. Decelerated emigration of leukocytes to the tissues
- C. Decelerated leukocyte destruction
- D. Amplification of leukopoiesis and decelerated emigration of leukocytes to the tissues
- E. Amplification of leukopoiesis
Hint
Regenerative shift means the marrow is releasing many young neutrophils; ask whether the number of cells produced has increased or only their location has changed.
