Understanding Absolute Neutrophil Count in Kolkata
What is Absolute Neutrophil Count in Kolkata?
An Absolute Neutrophil Count test measures the number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell (WBC) in the blood that is essential for immune function. Available at an affordable price in Kolkata with Tata 1mg labs, this test helps evaluate the body’s ability to fight off infections. Low Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) levels may indicate neutropenia, a condition characterized by a decreased number of neutrophils. High ANC levels may be observed in response to infections, inflammation, or certain medications. Regular monitoring of ANC levels can help assess the progression of an infection and the body's response to treatment. No special preparation is needed for this test. You can eat and drink as per your daily routine.
