Frequently Asked Questions

What does Absolute Lymphocyte Count measure?

ALC measures the total number of lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, and NK cells) per microliter of blood, reflecting immune system status.

Is fasting required for ALC test?

No, fasting is not required. ALC can be performed on a non-fasting sample collected in EDTA tube.

What causes low absolute lymphocyte count?

Low ALC (lymphopenia) can result from viral infections, steroid use, chemotherapy, HIV/AIDS, autoimmune disorders, or bone marrow suppression.

What causes high absolute lymphocyte count?

Elevated ALC (lymphocytosis) may indicate viral infections like EBV or CMV, bacterial infections such as pertussis, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or reactive lymphocytosis.

How is ALC related to total WBC count?

ALC is derived from the total WBC count multiplied by the lymphocyte percentage on differential count, reported as an absolute number per microliter.
