An Absolute Lymphocyte Count test is used to measure the level of white blood cells (Lymphocytes) in the blood. White blood cells are formed in the bone marrow. These are the armies that are a part of the immune system and protect the body from infection. A change in the level of lymphocytes could be due to an infection, during or after an illness. Conditions such as bacterial infections, viral infections, autoimmune disorders, and cancer cause abnormalities in the level of lymphocytes. The normal range for lymphocytes is 4,500 to 11,000 WBC (White Blood Cells) per microliter. WBC count higher than the normal range could point to either an infection or a disease. A count lower than the normal range could indicate vitamin deficiencies, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis.
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the body's immune response to infections and diseases.
The absolute lymphocyte count is often reported as part of a complete blood count (CBC) test, which provides information about various types of blood cells. It is typically measured by counting the number of lymphocytes per microliter (µL) of blood.
The absolute lymphocyte count is important in assessing the overall status of the immune system and can be helpful in diagnosing and monitoring various diseases and conditions. Changes in lymphocyte count can indicate an immune response to infections, inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, or even certain types of cancers.
For example, a decreased absolute lymphocyte count, called lymphocytopenia, may occur as a result of certain viral infections like HIV, severe bacterial infections, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, bone marrow disorders, or autoimmune diseases. On the other hand, an increased absolute lymphocyte count, known as lymphocytosis, can be seen in conditions such as viral infections, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), or other types of lymphomas.
However, it is important to note that the interpretation of absolute lymphocyte count should be done in conjunction with other clinical information and the context of the specific individual. Depending on the overall clinical picture, further tests and evaluation may be necessary to determine the underlying cause of abnormal lymphocyte counts.
In summary, the absolute lymphocyte count measures the actual number of lymphocytes in a given volume of blood and provides valuable information about the body's immune response. It can aid in the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of various diseases and conditions.
