Absolute Monocyte Count

Description

The Absolute Monocyte Count (AMC) is an important parameter measured in a complete blood count (CBC) that determines the number of monocytes, a type of white blood cell, in a person’s bloodstream. Monocytes are a key component of the immune system and play a crucial role in defending the body against infections and certain inflammatory processes. An abnormal AMC can indicate various medical conditions, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, or chronic inflammatory disorders. Monitoring the AMC is valuable for healthcare professionals in diagnosing and managing these conditions, helping them tailor treatment plans and assess the body’s immune response to different health challenges.
