The Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Test measures the number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infections. It is useful for assessing immune status and evaluating the risk of infection, particularly in people with low neutrophil levels.
What Does the ANC Test Help Assess?
- Neutrophil Levels: Measures the absolute number of neutrophils in the blood.
- Infection Risk: Helps assess infection risk when neutrophil counts are low.
- Immune Function: Supports clinical evaluation of the body’s immune response.
- Treatment Monitoring: Helps monitor neutrophil levels during certain treatments, including chemotherapy, when advised by a healthcare professional.
Sample Requirements
- Sample Type: Blood, typically collected in an EDTA tube.
- Fasting: Usually not required.
