Neutrophils are a type of white blood cells in your body that support your immune system to tackle infections. These are one of the initial cells that respond when a foreign element enters your body. Along with other immune cells, neutrophils can help prevent damage to the organs and bacterial ailments.

When you suffer an infection, neutrophils travel to the infection site and destroy the harmful bacteria. The cells ingest bacteria and release enzymes to remove them from your body. Further, neutrophils communicate with the surrounding cells to repair the damage.

Moreover, these cells play an essential role in immune system regulation in the body. They can enter the walls of blood vessels and go into your tissues to fight against any infections. However, the neutrophil levels need to be normal to avoid any health complications.

If you have abnormally high neutrophil levels in your bloodstream, the condition is called neutrophilic leucocytosis. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis and inflammatory bowel disease can lead to high neutrophil levels.

The neutrophilic leucocytosis symptoms might include: 

  • High fever 
  • Swollen joints 
  • Extreme tiredness 
  • Dizziness 
  • Frequent infections

Likewise, when the neutrophil levels are extremely low, it is called neutropenia. You might experience swollen lymph nodes, high fever, fatigue, mouth ulcers, diarrhoea and a burning sensation while urinating.

An enlarged spleen can reduce your neutrophil levels as the spleen might destroy blood cells like neutrophils rapidly. Allergic disorders, specific drug consumption, autoimmune disorders and chronic bacterial infections can affect your neutrophil count.

To prevent neutropenia or neutrophilic leucocytosis symptoms from worsening, you need medical treatment. The most comprehensive examination for analysing neutrophilic conditions is the Absolute Neutrophil Count Test.

The Absolute Neutrophil Count Test examines the number of neutrophils in your blood. It will help the doctor understand your symptoms and determine the underlying condition. Based on the diagnosis of neutropenia or neutrophilic leucocytosis, the doctor will prepare the treatment plan.

Having low neutrophil levels will put you at risk of suffering from an infection. So, this test will allow doctors to take the appropriate steps to prevent further issues.

Besides, the Absolute Neutrophil Count Test is also beneficial in understanding if the immune system is functioning properly. The examination might aid in determining the various disease-causing microorganisms present in your body.

Further, doctors might prescribe certain medicines or modify your current medication to reduce the symptoms.

If you are already undergoing neutrophilic disease treatment, this test will enable doctors to assess the treatment's efficiency. This test will also gauge the immune system's response rate to the disease and treatment. Based on the test results, your doctor might recommend additional tests.

Moreover, you might have to take the Absolute Neutrophil Count Test at frequent intervals. You can book your Absolute Neutrophil Count Test package from Apollo 24|7 app.
