    What is Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test?

    The Absolute Neutrophil Count test is a blood test that measures the levels of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell present in the bloodstream. It is defined as the percentage of neutrophils present in the bloodstream of an individual. Neutrophils are a key component of the body’s immune system, responsible for fighting bacterial infections. This test is commonly ordered to evaluate an individual’s immune function and help diagnose or monitor various conditions that affect the immune system. This test is particularly valuable for diagnosing or managing conditions that affect white blood cell levels, such as infections, immune disorders, or bone marrow diseases. It is also crucial for patients undergoing treatments like chemotherapy, which can suppress bone marrow activity and reduce neutrophil counts. By providing critical insights into the immune system's capacity to fight infections, the ANC test helps guide clinical decisions and treatment plans

    The Absolute Neutrophil Count test is useful for diagnosing diseases like leukaemia (bone marrow disorder), autoimmune diseases, and infections. The test is commonly a part of a complete blood count (CBC), which helps evaluate multiple conditions and overall health.

    Individuals residing in Bangalore and willing to evaluate their immune health can schedule an Absolute Neutrophil Count test at home conveniently.

    Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test Parameters

    The Absolute Neutrophil Count test evaluates the percentage of neutrophils present in the blood sample. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cells, specifically granulocytes, that serve as the immune system's first line of defence. Alongside other granulocytes, such as eosinophils and basophils, neutrophils are produced by the bone marrow. Upon maturation, neutrophils are released into the bloodstream and tissues, where they remain prepared to respond to invading microorganisms or harmful agents.

    They play a pivotal role in protecting the body from infections and injuries. When bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens infect the human body, neutrophils are the first cells to respond at the site of infection or injury. They combat these invaders by employing mechanisms such as trapping and ingesting harmful microorganisms and generating an immune response. Additionally, neutrophils are also involved in initiating tissue repair to restore normal function following an infection or injury. The number of neutrophils often increases in health conditions that involve infection and inflammation.

    Here’s what you should know if you want to get the Absolute Neutrophil Count test done at home:

    • Prerequisites

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    • Who Should Get an Absolute Neutrophil Count Test

    This test is suitable for individuals with suspected or existing immune system issues, frequent infections including tuberculosis, hepatitis, sepsis, or conditions like leukaemia, vitamin deficiency, and autoimmune diseases. It is also recommended for those undergoing treatments like chemotherapy, which can affect neutrophil levels.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Absolute Neutrophil Count Test

    Certain factors, such as recent infections, stress, physical activity, or the use of medications (e.g., steroids or chemotherapy drugs), may influence neutrophils. It is important to inform your doctor of any ongoing treatments or recent events that could impact the test results.

    Why Take the Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test?

    The Absolute Neutrophil Count test is essential for checking neutrophils that defend the body against infections and injuries. The test is conducted for the following reasons:

    • Investigating Frequent Infections: The test is used to investigate recurring bacterial or fungal infections such as sepsis, Lyme disease, hepatitis, and tuberculosis.

    • Diagnosing Disorders of Immune System: It helps assess conditions that may weaken the immune system, including leukaemia, lymphoma, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and lupus.

    • Monitoring of Cancer Treatment: Individuals undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy may have altered absolute neutrophil counts. The test monitors ANC to evaluate immune cell recovery and the risk of infections.

    • Management of Chronic Illness: Neutrophil levels are monitored during the management of chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatous diseases, and various infections

    • Evaluation of Pre-Surgery or Transplant Patients: Neutrophil count is most likely to be altered due to surgery. Therefore, testing ANC before surgery ensures an adequate immune response before medical procedures.
