Hemoglobin (Hb)DetailsHide
Key Aspects of Hemoglobin
- Function: It is responsible for giving blood its red color and for the essential transport of gases throughout the body.
- Low Hemoglobin (Anemia): Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Common causes include iron deficiency, chronic diseases (kidney disease, cancer), and blood loss.
- High Hemoglobin (Polycythemia): This can result from high altitude, smoking, dehydration, or conditions like polycythemia vera.
- Normal Levels: Levels can vary by age, gender, and lifestyle.
  Adult Men: 14-18 g/dL
  Adult Women: 12-16 g/dL
  Children (1-6 years): 9.5-14 g/dL
  Pregnant Individuals: > 11g/dL
Why the Test is Done
- To check for anemia.
- To evaluate overall health (routine checkup).
- To manage chronic diseases, such as kidney disease or cancers.

Absolute Neutrophil Count - ANCDetailsHide
What is ANC?
- Definition: The exact number of neutrophils (segmented neutrophils + band neutrophils) in a specific amount of blood.
- Purpose: It is used as the body's first line of defense to assess infection risk, inflammation, or response to treatments like chemotherapy.
Clinical Importance
- Infection Risk: The lower the ANC, the higher the risk of infection.
- Chemotherapy Monitoring: Used to determine if a patient can safely receive chemotherapy or if a dose needs to be delayed or reduced.
- Causes of Low ANC: Chemotherapy, radiation, autoimmune diseases, infections, or nutritional deficiencies.
- Causes of High ANC:Bacterial infections, inflammatory diseases, or certain medications (e.g., steroids).
Disclaimer: Always wait for a physician to explain laboratory results, as they consider the full clinical picture.

Absolute Lymphocyte Count - Lab test
Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC)DetailsHide
What is the AEC Test?
- Purpose: To measure the specific number of eosinophils per microliter of blood to diagnose allergies, infections, and certain cancers.
- Procedure: A blood sample is taken, usually as part of a complete blood count (CBC) with differential.
- Calculation: Total white blood cell count x percentage of eosinophils = AEC.
Causes of High Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC)
- Allergic Reactions: Asthma, eczema, or allergic rhinitis.
- Parasitic Infections: Eosinophils are crucial for attacking parasites.
- Inflammatory Disorders: Autoimmune diseases like lupus, Crohn's disease, or vasculitis.
- Blood Disorders/Cancers: Some types of leukemia or Hodgkin's disease.
When is the Test Done?
Doctors order this test to investigate symptoms like chronic itching, persistent asthma, suspected parasites, or unexpected fever.
Disclaimer: AEC results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of your overall health.
