Neutrophils (NEUT) Unit Converter
Neutrophils (NEUT) are the most abundant white blood cells, acting as the first line of defense against infection. On laboratory reports, this parameter is often labeled as NEUT# (absolute count) or NEUT.
A low absolute neutrophil count (Neutropenia) places patients at significant risk for infection, particularly during chemotherapy. This converter facilitates switching between the modern SI unit (× 109/L) and conventional absolute counts (cells/μL or cells/mm3).
SI Units / Standard
RecommendedBillions per liter (Often abbreviated as G/L).
Absolute Count Equivalents
Clinical Context
Reference Range (Adult): Typically 1.5 – 8.0 × 109/L.
Terminology Note:
• NEUT# / Abs Neut: The actual number of cells per volume.
• NEUT%: The percentage of WBCs that are neutrophils.
To convert percentage to absolute: (WBC × NEUT%) / 100 = NEUT#.
Conversion Logic:
1 × 109/L (SI) = 1,000 cells/μL.

Frequently Asked Questions
Usually, yes. “NEUT” on a lab printout typically refers to the absolute neutrophil count. Some labs may distinguish between “segmented” neutrophils and “bands,” but for unit conversion, the math is identical.
You cannot use this tool to convert % directly to a unit. You must multiply the Total WBC count by the percentage to get the absolute count.
