Absolute Lymphocyte Count Calculator


FAQ

How do you calculate absolute lymphocyte count?

To calculate the absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), you need to know two things: the total white blood cell count (WBC) and the percentage of lymphocytes in the differential white blood cell count.

The formula for calculating ALC is:

ALC = WBC count × % lymphocytes/100

 

For example, if the WBC count is 8000 cells/μL and the percentage of lymphocytes in the differential count is 20%, then the ALC would be:

ALC = 8000 × 20/100 ALC = 1600 cells/μL

 

Therefore, the absolute lymphocyte count in this example is 1600 cells/μL.

It's important to note that the ALC can vary based on various factors such as age, underlying health conditions, and medication use. A healthcare provider should always interpret the ALC results in the context of the individual's overall health status.
