Absolute Neutrophil Count Test (ANC Test)

The Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test is a blood test that measures the number of neutrophils in the blood. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in fighting off infections. The ANC Test is often used to monitor and diagnose infections, especially in individuals undergoing chemotherapy or other immunosuppressive treatments.

The ANC Test can be performed in-house or through NABL certified external laboratories associated with healthcare nt sickcare, an automated ISO 9001:2015 certified online medical laboratory based in India. Patients can book the test online through the healthcarentsickcare.com E-Commerce website. Once the test is booked, a healthcare nt sickcare representative will contact the patient to schedule an appointment for the test. Results are usually available within a few days and are provided online to the patient through the healthcarentsickcare.com E-Commerce website.

An ANC level below 500 cells/mm³ is considered to be a high risk for infections, while an ANC level below 100 cells/mm³ is considered to be a severe risk. In such cases, prompt medical attention is necessary to prevent potentially life-threatening infections.
