Understanding Absolute Lymphocyte Count in Hyderabad


What is Absolute Lymphocyte Count in Hyderabad?

Absolute Lymphocyte Count test measures the number of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell ( WBC) in the blood, and is essential for assessing immune function. Available at an affordable price in Hyderabad with Tata 1mg labs, this test helps evaluate the body’s response to infections, autoimmune disorders, and certain cancers. Low ALC levels may indicate immunodeficiency or bone marrow disorders, while high levels may be observed in response to infections or inflammatory conditions. No special preparation is required for this test. Eat and drink as per your daily routine. 

What does Absolute Lymphocyte Count measure?

An Absolute Lymphocyte Count test measures the total number of lymphocytes in the blood. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cells that play an important role in your immune system and help your body fight disease and infection. There are two main types of lymphocytes:

  • T lymphocytes (T cells): T cells control your body’s immune system response and directly attack and kill infected cells and tumor cells.

  • B lymphocytes (B cells): B cells make antibodies. Antibodies are proteins that target viruses, bacteria, and other foreign pathogens.

Lymphocytes help your immune system remember every antigen (a foreign substance) it comes in contact with. After an encounter, some lymphocytes turn into memory cells. When these memory cells run into an antigen again, they recognize it and quickly respond. It is also the reason why getting vaccinated helps prevent certain diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions about Absolute Lymphocyte Count in Hyderabad

Q. Why is an ALC test important?

An ALC test is an important marker of the functioning of your immune system. Changes in lymphocyte count can indicate a wide range of health conditions, such as infections, autoimmune disorders, immunodeficiency syndromes, etc.

Q. How is an ALC test done?

A phlebotomist (a trained professional to perform blood draws) will clean your skin using an antiseptic alcohol cotton swab or wipe and take blood samples from your vein using a needle. The blood sample will be stored safely and transported to the laboratory for analysis.

Q. Is there any risk associated with an ALC test?

There is no risk associated with this test. However, as a needle is used to prick and take out your blood sample, you may experience bleeding, swelling, or blood collection under the skin, which is usually self-limiting. If these symptoms do not recede, consult your doctor.
