    What is Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test?

    The Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) test evaluates the number of eosinophils, a specialized type of white blood cell, within a blood sample. These cells house granules filled with toxic proteins that are released to combat harmful pathogens. Eosinophils are vital for fighting parasitic infections, such as those caused by worms, and are actively involved in allergic reactions and inflammation.

    Having an AEC test done in Delhi is an effective way to monitor your immune system's health. This test supports the diagnosis of conditions tied to abnormal eosinophil levels, such as allergies, asthma, parasitic infestations, and autoimmune disorders.

    Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test Parameters

    The AEC test measures just one parameter: the eosinophil count in your bloodstream. It identifies both low (eosinopenia) and high (eosinophilia) eosinophil levels. Occasional low eosinophil counts are typically not a health concern due to compensation by other immune cells, but chronic eosinopenia may signal a condition that warrants immediate medical attention. Eosinophilia may stem from various disorders, influenced by the areas where eosinophils are excessively present. While the AEC test confirms abnormal eosinophil levels, it does not determine the exact cause. Additional diagnostic tests are needed to uncover the root cause of eosinophilia.

    Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test Preparation

    It’s essential to take note of these considerations before getting an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) test in Delhi:

    • Prerequisites: The AEC test does not require fasting.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: You can undergo the test at any time of day.

    • Who Should Get an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test: This test is typically performed if abnormal values are found in a blood differential test or if your doctor suspects a condition that could alter eosinophil counts.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test: Although no specific preparation is needed, it’s important to let your doctor know about any medications, including non-prescription ones, as some can impact the results. Drugs that may elevate eosinophil levels include antibiotics, interferon, tranquillizers, amphetamines, and psyllium-based laxatives.

    Why Take the Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test?
