An Absolute Neutrophil Count test measures the number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell (WBC) in the blood that is essential for immune function. Available at an affordable price in Howrah with Tata 1mg labs, this test helps evaluate the body’s ability to fight off infections. Low Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) levels may indicate neutropenia, a condition characterized by a decreased number of neutrophils. High ANC levels may be observed in response to infections, inflammation, or certain medications. Regular monitoring of ANC levels can help assess the progression of an infection and the body's response to treatment. No special preparation is needed for this test. You can eat and drink as per your daily routine.

Understanding Absolute Neutrophil Count

Neutrophils are the key indicator of an individual’s immune system function and are responsible for fighting-off bacterial infections. These are the first cells to arrive at the site of an infection. 

An ANC test helps monitor the immune response in individuals undergoing cancer treatments that can affect bone marrow’s capacity to produce WBCs, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. A low ANC level may indicate the risk of infections and necessitates the need for prompt medical intervention. Whereas, a high ANC level may indicate serious conditions such as leukemia, other blood disorders, etc., and requires the need for an appropriate course of treatment, which will depend on the underlying cause of the elevated ANC levels. No special preparation is required for an ANC test; eat or drink as per your daily routine. 

Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between different labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results. The results will help them determine your medical condition and formulate an overall treatment plan.
