    What is Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test?

    An Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) test quantifies the eosinophils in your blood. These white blood cells carry granules loaded with toxic proteins, which are released to fight off harmful invaders. Eosinophils play a key role in combating parasitic infections, like those caused by worms, and are involved in allergies and inflammation.

    Taking an AEC test in Gurgaon provides essential information about your immune system. It is instrumental in identifying health issues linked to irregular eosinophil levels, including allergies, asthma, parasitic infections, and autoimmune conditions.

    Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test Parameters

    The AEC test measures a single factor: the number of eosinophils in your blood. It can reveal eosinopenia (low eosinophil levels) or eosinophilia (high eosinophil levels). Temporary low eosinophil counts are usually harmless since other immune cells compensate, but persistent eosinopenia may indicate a serious condition requiring medical attention. Eosinophilia can be linked to various conditions, depending on the areas with elevated eosinophils. While the AEC test identifies abnormal levels, it cannot specify the cause of the increase. Further testing is necessary to diagnose the root cause of eosinophilia.

    Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test Preparation

    When preparing for an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) test in Gurgaon, consider these factors:

    • Prerequisites: Fasting is not necessary for this test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: The AEC test can be performed at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test: This test is often advised when blood differential test results are abnormal or if your doctor suspects a condition that could influence eosinophil levels.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test: No special preparation is needed, but you should inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs. Some medications, such as antibiotics, interferon, tranquillizers, amphetamines, and laxatives with psyllium, can affect test results.
