A normal ANC typically ranges between 2,500 to 6,000 cells per microliter (µL) of blood. This range can vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the individual.
What does a high absolute neutrophil count mean?
A high absolute neutrophil count (ANC) usually indicates an increased immune response, commonly due to infection or inflammation.
What happens if absolute neutrophil count is low?
A low ANC, known as neutropenia, compromises the immune system, making the body more susceptible to infections and illnesses.
What is a good ANC?
An ANC within the normal range (1,500-8,000 cells/microliter) is considered good for maintaining a balanced immune system.
