    What Is the Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test?

    The Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) test is a blood test used to measure the levels of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell in the bloodstream. It calculates the percentage of neutrophils present in the body, which are crucial for fighting bacterial infections as part of the immune system. This test is frequently ordered to assess immune function and assist in diagnosing or monitoring various conditions affecting the immune system. It is particularly helpful for diagnosing or managing conditions that influence white blood cell counts, such as infections, autoimmune disorders, and bone marrow diseases. The ANC test is also vital for patients undergoing treatments like chemotherapy, which can lower neutrophil levels by suppressing bone marrow function. By offering vital insights into the body’s ability to combat infections, the ANC test supports clinical decision-making and treatment strategies.

    The Absolute Neutrophil Count test can be valuable for diagnosing conditions such as leukaemia (a bone marrow disorder), autoimmune diseases, and infections. Often, it forms part of a complete blood count (CBC), which helps assess overall health and detect a variety of conditions.

    For those in Gurgaon, the Absolute Neutrophil Count test can be conveniently booked at home for an in-depth review of immune health.

    Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test Parameters

    The Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) test measures the percentage of neutrophils present in a blood sample. Neutrophils, a type of white blood cell and specifically a granulocyte, are a key component of the immune system’s first line of defence. Along with other granulocytes like eosinophils and basophils, neutrophils are produced in the bone marrow. Once matured, they are released into the bloodstream and tissues, remaining ready to respond to any invading pathogens or harmful substances.

    These cells play a crucial role in defending the body against infections and injuries. When bacteria, viruses, or other harmful agents invade, neutrophils are the first responders at the site of infection or injury. They combat these threats by mechanisms such as engulfing and digesting the microorganisms and triggering an immune response. Neutrophils also assist in initiating tissue repair to restore normal function after infection or injury. As a result, the number of neutrophils often rises during conditions characterised by infection or inflammation.

    Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test Preparation

    If you’re planning to have the Absolute Neutrophil Count test at home, here’s what you need to know:

    • Prerequisites There are no special requirements such as fasting before having the ANC test.

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

    • Who Should Get an Absolute Neutrophil Count Test? This test is recommended for those with suspected or existing immune system issues, recurrent infections (including tuberculosis, hepatitis, or sepsis), and conditions such as leukaemia, vitamin deficiencies, and autoimmune disorders. It’s also useful for individuals undergoing treatments like chemotherapy that may impact neutrophil levels.

    • Cautions Before Taking the Test Factors like recent infections, stress, physical activity, or medications (such as steroids or chemotherapy drugs) can affect neutrophil levels. It’s important to inform your doctor about any ongoing treatments or events that might influence the results of the 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.

    Why Take the Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test?

    The Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) test is crucial for evaluating neutrophils, which play a key role in defending the body against infections and injuries. This test is typically carried out for the following reasons:

    • Investigating Recurrent Infections : The ANC test is used to investigate repeated bacterial or fungal infections, including sepsis, Lyme disease, hepatitis, and tuberculosis.

    • Diagnosing Immune System Disorders : The test helps diagnose conditions that may compromise the immune system, such as leukaemia, lymphoma, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and lupus.

    • Monitoring Cancer Treatment : For individuals undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, neutrophil counts may fluctuate. The ANC test is used to track immune cell recovery and assess the risk of infection.

    • Managing Chronic Illnesses : Neutrophil levels are monitored during the treatment of chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatous diseases, and various infections.

    • Evaluating Pre-Surgery or Transplant Patients : Since neutrophil levels can be affected by surgery, testing ANC prior to surgery ensures the immune system is adequately prepared for the procedure.
