Calculate Absolute Neutrophil Count from the Relative Neutrophil Count and total WBC count.
Formula:
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) = WBC Count (/uL) x Relative Neutrophil Count (%Neutrophil)
Indication:
An absolute neutrophil count may be used to check for infection, inflammation, leukemia, and other conditions. The lower a person’s absolute neutrophil count is, the higher the risk is of getting an infection. Having an absolute neutrophil count of less than 500 means there is a high risk of getting an infection.
