    What Is the Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test?

    The Absolute Neutrophil Count test is a blood test that assesses the concentration of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, in the bloodstream. It determines the percentage of neutrophils, which are essential to the body’s immune defence against bacterial infections. This test is often used to evaluate the function of the immune system and to diagnose or monitor a range of conditions that impact immunity. The ANC test is especially helpful in diagnosing and managing conditions that affect white blood cell counts, such as infections, autoimmune disorders, and bone marrow diseases. Additionally, it is vital for patients undergoing treatments like chemotherapy, which may suppress bone marrow activity and result in lower neutrophil levels. By providing key insights into the body’s ability to combat infections, the ANC test helps clinicians make informed treatment decisions.

    The Absolute Neutrophil Count test is useful for diagnosing conditions such as leukaemia, autoimmune diseases, and infections. It is typically part of a complete blood count (CBC) test, which offers a broader view of overall health.

    Delhi residents who wish to monitor their immune health can easily book an Absolute Neutrophil Count test at home.

    Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test Parameters

    The Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) test determines the percentage of neutrophils in a blood sample. Neutrophils are a form of white blood cell, specifically a granulocyte, and they serve as the body’s first line of defence against infections. Like eosinophils and basophils, they are produced in the bone marrow and, once matured, are released into the bloodstream and tissues, where they stand ready to combat harmful agents or pathogens.

    These cells are essential for defending the body against infections and injury. When bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens invade, neutrophils are the first to arrive at the site, where they protect the body by trapping and consuming harmful microorganisms and triggering an immune response. Neutrophils also aid in tissue repair, helping to restore function after infection or injury. The number of neutrophils often rises in response to infection and inflammation.

    Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test Preparation

    Here’s what you should know if you’re considering getting the Absolute Neutrophil Count test at home:

    • Prerequisites No specific preparation, such as fasting, is necessary for the ANC test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested The ANC test can be conducted at any time of day, providing flexibility for individuals.

    • Who Should Get an Absolute Neutrophil Count Test? This test is recommended for people with suspected or known immune system issues, frequent infections (such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, or sepsis), and conditions like leukaemia, vitamin deficiencies, or autoimmune diseases. It is also recommended for individuals undergoing chemotherapy, which can affect neutrophil levels.

    • Cautions Before Taking the Absolute Neutrophil Count Test

    Recent infections, physical exertion, stress, or the use of medications (e.g., steroids or chemotherapy drugs) can affect neutrophil counts. It is important to inform your doctor of any treatments or events that might impact the test results. 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 (ANC) test is essential for assessing neutrophils, which protect the body from infections and injuries. It is conducted for several reasons, including:

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

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

    • Monitoring Cancer Treatment : The ANC test is often used for individuals undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy to monitor neutrophil counts, assess recovery, and evaluate the risk of infections.

    • Managing Long-Term Conditions : Neutrophil levels are routinely monitored in patients with chronic illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatous diseases, and various infections.

    • Evaluating Pre-Surgery or Transplant Patients : Neutrophil levels can be affected by surgery, so ANC testing before surgery ensures the immune system is prepared for medical procedures.
