Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Analysis
Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) is a measure that quantifies the number of lymphocytes in a blood sample. Lymphocytes, which include T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, are a type of white blood cell critical for the body's immune response against infections and in the development of immunity. The ALC is an important indicator of immune system health.
ALC Reference Range:
Normal Range: 1,000 to 4,800 cells/µL (microliter) of blood.
Treatment and management of abnormal ALC levels are focused on the root causes, whether it’s addressing infections, adjusting medications impacting lymphocyte levels, or treating autoimmune diseases or cancers with targeted therapies. Continuous tracking of ALC, together with a thorough analysis of additional blood markers and clinical signs, is essential for the effective diagnosis and treatment of immune system disorders.
Ongoing ALC monitoring is key to understanding immune functionality and pinpointing potential health risks, taking into account personal health history and current conditions for comprehensive care planning.
