ANC

Absolute Neutrophil Count

For education. Check every result.

Anatium is a study resource, not medical advice. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prescription or a substitute for a clinician who has seen the patient. Check every number against a current local protocol before it touches anyone, and never act on a result you cannot reproduce yourself.

Fill in every field above, then select Calculate.

How it is calculated

ANC = WBC x (segmented neutrophils + bands) / 100. Below 500 is severe neutropenia, where fever means empirical antibiotics within the hour without waiting for cultures.

About
