    What Is the Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Test?

    The Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) test is a blood test that determines the number of lymphocytes in your bloodstream. Lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, play a key role in fighting infections, viruses, and bacteria, as well as aiding the body’s response to conditions such as cancer. They also have the ability to remember pathogens (antigens), which allows the immune system to react more swiftly if the same pathogen is encountered again. This explains why we rarely contract the same illness twice, such as measles or chickenpox. The ALC test is frequently included as part of a full blood count (FBC), a routine examination that assesses your blood health. Elevated lymphocyte levels may suggest infections like mononucleosis, hepatitis, or tuberculosis, as well as more serious conditions such as blood cancers (leukaemia or lymphoma) or autoimmune diseases. On the other hand, low lymphocyte levels, known as lymphocytopenia, could indicate underlying issues such as HIV, viral hepatitis, or conditions like lupus or severe combined immunodeficiency. Lymphocytopenia may also be a side effect of treatments that weaken the immune system, such as chemotherapy. The ALC test is an essential tool for evaluating immune function and diagnosing a variety of health conditions, enabling doctors to make informed decisions regarding treatment and care.

    Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Test Parameters

    The Absolute Lymphocyte Count test measures a single parameter – the number of lymphocytes present in your blood. This is reported either as an absolute figure or as a percentage of the total white blood cells (WBCs). Lymphocytes typically account for around 20-40% of the total WBCs in a healthy person. The total number of lymphocytes is calculated using a formula, where the total WBC count is multiplied by the percentage of lymphocytes in circulation. There are various types of lymphocytes, including T cells, B cells, and NK cells. T cells protect the body by targeting infected or abnormal cells, while B cells generate antibodies to combat infections caused by viruses and bacteria. The levels of these lymphocyte subsets may rise depending on the underlying cause of an illness or infection.

    Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Test Preparation

    When preparing for an Absolute Lymphocyte Count test, here are some important details to keep in mind: Prerequisites: Generally, there is no need for fasting or any specific preparation before having an Absolute Lymphocyte Count test. Best Time to Get Tested: The Absolute Lymphocyte Count test can be carried out at any time of the day. Who Should Have an Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Test? This test is helpful for individuals who experience frequent infections, those with weakened immunity, patients with chronic conditions, or individuals undergoing treatments like chemotherapy. It is also useful for people managing immune-related disorders. Precautions Before the Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Test: No special precautions or steps are necessary before the test.

    Why Take the Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Test?

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

    The Absolute Lymphocyte Count test is used to evaluate the function of your immune system. It is recommended for the following:

    • Serious Illnesses: The ALC test is useful for assessing immune system function, particularly in critically ill patients.

    • Predicting Recovery: It offers insights into a person’s potential recovery following an illness or surgery.

    • HIV Monitoring: ALC is important for tracking the health of the immune system in patients with HIV.

    • Sepsis Evaluation: In cases of severe infections such as sepsis, the ALC test helps determine the severity and supports treatment decisions.

    • Identifying Immune Issues: It can be used for individuals suspected of having immune system disorders. Low ALC levels may prompt further investigations to identify the underlying 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 crucial to monitor these symptoms, as they may indicate underlying issues with the immune system.

    • Myself, 'Mr. Prasad Parab'. My wife 'Mrs. Pooja Pednekar' works in a reputed MNC organization, in Mumbai. Post the covid pandemic, the organization offers company sponsored full body health check up for all of its employees as part of its employee wellness program. My wife availed the service for the first time today. The designated lab assigned for the sample collection at home was 'Orange Health Labs'. The technician name was 'Mr. Afraz Poonawala'. Mr. Afraz was courteous and went about his duty diligently. He was patient enough to wait for 10-15 minutes as my wife was running late as she had to run some urgent errands at home. The blood sample collection was swift and painless. I would want to suggest 'Orange Health Labs' to everyone as I found its service to be excellent. Many thanks 'Orange Health Labs' and a special thanks to 'Mr. Afraz Poonawala' for your professionalism and excellent service.
