    What is Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test?

    An Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) test measures the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in your blood. Eosinophils are equipped with granules containing toxic proteins that help eliminate harmful invaders. These cells are essential for immune defense against parasites like worms and are also active in allergic responses and inflammatory conditions.

    Opting for an AEC test in Mumbai can help assess your immune health. It aids in identifying disorders related to abnormal eosinophil counts, including allergies, asthma, parasitic infections, and certain autoimmune diseases.

    Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test Parameters

    The AEC test focuses on a single parameter: the number of eosinophils in the blood. It helps detect both eosinopenia (low levels of eosinophils) and eosinophilia (high levels of eosinophils). While occasional low counts are generally harmless because other immune cells compensate, sustained eosinopenia may indicate a serious issue that needs medical evaluation. Eosinophilia arises from a range of conditions, often varying by where the eosinophils are concentrated. Although the AEC test highlights abnormal levels, it does not identify the exact cause, necessitating further tests to determine the underlying reason for the elevated count.

    Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test Preparation

    Before undergoing an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) test in Mumbai, consider the following factors:

    • Prerequisites: Fasting is not a requirement for this test.

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

    • Who Should Get an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test: This test is advised if a blood differential test shows abnormal results or if a condition suspected by your doctor could affect eosinophil counts.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test: No special precautions are necessary but inform your doctor of any medications you are using, as certain drugs—such as antibiotics, interferon, tranquillizers, amphetamines, and laxatives with psyllium—may influence the results.

    Why Take the Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Test?

    The AEC test is vital for diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions:

    • Evaluation of Symptoms: Consider taking the test if you show symptoms such as:

    • Rashes on the skin

    • Pus-filled lesions

    • Swelling or inflammation

    • Breathing difficulties or shortness of breath

    • Abdominal or stomach pain

    • Chronic fatigue

    • Diagnosis of Allergies: Eosinophil levels often spike during allergic reactions, and the test helps confirm allergic conditions.

    • Detection of Parasitic Infections: The test is instrumental in identifying parasitic infections, indicated by elevated eosinophil levels.

    • Assessment of Asthma and Lung Issues: High eosinophil counts provide information on lung inflammation and immune responses in respiratory conditions like asthma.

    • Broader Health Insights: As part of a comprehensive health evaluation, the test provides valuable information about the immune system by measuring eosinophil counts.
