What is Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC)?

The Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) measures the number of neutrophils, a specific type of white blood cell, in your blood. Neutrophils are your body's primary defense against bacterial and fungal infections, making this test vital for assessing your immune system's strength.

Why is this test important?

An abnormal ANC can indicate a weakened immune system (neutropenia), increasing susceptibility to infections, or an overactive immune response (neutrophilia). It's crucial for monitoring patients undergoing chemotherapy or those with certain chronic conditions affecting white blood cell production.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
