Answer 1

Answer:

absoulte neutrophils cout

Answer 2

Answer:

The absolute neutrophil count, the number of white blood cells (WBCs) that are neutrophils.

Explanation:

FOR EXTRA KNOWLEDGE

The percent of neutrophils consists of the segmented (fully mature) neutrophils) + the bands (almost mature neutrophils). The normal range for the ANC = 1.5 to 8.0 (1,500 to 8,000/mm3).

HOW TO CALCULATE

Sample calculation of the ANC:

WBC count: 6,000 cells/mm3 of blood

Segs: 30% of the WBCs

Bands: 3% of the WBCs

Neutrophils (segs + bands): 33% of the WBCs

ANC: 33% X 6,000 = 2,000/mm3

ANC of 2,000/mm3, by convention = 2.0 

Normal range: 1.5 to 8.0 (1,500 to 8,000/mm3)

Interpretation: Normal

WHAT ARE HIGH ANC AND LOW ANC

Normal ANC is 1.5 or higher; a "safe" ANC is 500-1500; a low ANC is less than 500. A safe ANC means that the patient's activities do not need to be restricted (on the basis of the ANC).
