    What is Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Test?

    The Absolute Lymphocyte Count test is a blood test that measures the number of lymphocytes in your bloodstream. Lymphocytes are a component of white blood cells (WBCs) and help fight infections, viruses, and bacteria and assist in the body's response to diseases like cancer. Lymphocytes are also responsible for remembering pathogens (antigens), which allows the immune system to respond more quickly if the same pathogen is encountered again. This is why you do not usually get the same illness, like measles or chickenpox, more than once.

    The ALC test is often performed as part of a complete blood count (CBC), a routine test that assesses your blood health. 1 High lymphocyte levels may indicate infections, such as mononucleosis, hepatitis, or tuberculosis, or more severe conditions like blood cancers (leukaemia or lymphoma) or autoimmune diseases.

    Conversely, low levels of lymphocytes, known as lymphocytopenia, can be a sign of an underlying problem such as HIV, viral hepatitis, or conditions like lupus or severe combined immunodeficiency. Lymphocytopenia can also result from treatments that weaken the immune system, like chemotherapy.

    The Absolute Lymphocyte Count test is a valuable tool for assessing immune function and diagnosing various health conditions, helping doctors make informed decisions about treatment and care.

    Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Test Parameters

    The Absolute Lymphocyte Count test measures only one parameter – the number of lymphocytes in your blood. This is expressed as either an absolute number or as a percentage of total WBCs. 1,2 Lymphocytes generally make up about 20-40% of the total WBCs in a healthy individual. The total number of lymphocytes is calculated using a formula where the total WBC count in your blood is multiplied by the percentage of lymphocytes circulating in your blood. There are different types of lymphocytes, including T cells, B cells, and NK cells. T cells help protect your body by attacking infected or abnormal cells. B cells produce antibodies that fight infections caused by viruses and bacteria. The number of these lymphocyte subsets may increase depending on the cause of an illness or infection.

    When getting ready to take an Absolute Lymphocyte Count test, consider the following important details:

    Prerequisites:

    Typically, there is no need for fasting or any specific preparation before undergoing an Absolute Lymphocyte Count test.

    Best Time to Get Tested:

    Who Should Get an Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) test?

    An Absolute Lymphocyte Count test is useful for individuals experiencing frequent infections, those with weakened immunity, patients with chronic illnesses, or those undergoing treatments like chemotherapy. It is also beneficial for people managing immune-related conditions.

    Cautions Before Taking the Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Test

    There are no special precautions or steps required before the Absolute Lymphocyte Count test.

    Why Take the Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Test?

    The Absolute Lymphocyte Count test helps assess the function of your immune system. This test is advised for:

    • Serious Illnesses : The ALC test helps evaluate the immune system, particularly in critically ill individuals.

    • Predicting Recovery : It provides insights into a person's potential recovery from an illness or surgery.

    • HIV Monitoring : ALC is useful for tracking immune system health in patients with HIV.

    • Sepsis Evaluation : For severe infections like sepsis, ALC helps assess the severity and supports treatment decisions.

    • Identifying Immune Issues : It can be done in individuals suspected to have immune system problems. Low ALC levels will prompt further investigations to find the cause of the illness.

    The ALC test may also be ordered if symptoms related to abnormal lymphocyte levels are present, such as:

    • Swollen lymph nodes

    • Fever

    • Night sweats

    • Abdominal pain

    • Weakness or fatigue

    • Difficulty breathing

    It is important to monitor these symptoms, as they could indicate underlying issues with the immune system.
