About Absolute DLC Counts Test
The Absolute DLC Counts Test provides information on the actual quantity of five different kinds of white blood cell (WBC) in the blood: Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC), Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC), Absolute Monocyte Count (AMC), Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC), and Absolute Basophil Count (ABC). These values allow for a more precise determination of immune function than does the use of percentage-based differential counts. Advanced automated haematology analysers from Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy provide accurate and reliable results, which are useful for performing an in-depth assessment of blood health.
What is an Absolute DLC Counts Test?
Absolute counts for each type of white blood cell are obtained by multiplying the total number of white blood cells by the percentage of that particular cell type, and are determined by an Absolute DLC Counts Test. It is usually ordered on a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to evaluate the condition of the immune system and help diagnose infections, inflammation, allergies, and blood disorders. Complete Blood Count (CBC), Total WBC Count, and Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC) are interpreted with the test for a complete picture.
Common Reasons for an Absolute DLC Count Test
Evaluation of bacterial or viral infections
Investigation of persistent fever
Assessment of immune system disorders
Evaluation of allergic conditions
Monitoring blood disorders
Assessment during chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy
Routine health check-up
Follow-up of abnormal blood test results
Conditions Evaluated
Bacterial Infections
Absolute neutrophil count helps detect and monitor bacterial infections.
Viral Infections
Absolute lymphocyte count assists in evaluating viral infections and immune responses.
Allergic Disorders
Absolute eosinophil count helps identify allergies, asthma, and parasitic infections.
Blood Disorders
Supports the diagnosis and monitoring of leukaemia, bone marrow disorders, and other haematological conditions.
Immune System Disorders
Evaluates abnormalities in immune cell counts that may indicate immune deficiencies or autoimmune diseases.
Inflammatory Conditions
Helps assess inflammation and monitor the body's response to treatment.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Your doctor may recommend an Absolute DLC Counts Test if you:
Have recurrent or persistent infections
Experience prolonged fever
Have suspected immune system disorders
Have allergies or asthma
Are undergoing chemotherapy or immunosuppressive treatment
Have abnormal CBC or WBC results
Need monitoring for blood-related disorders

Test information: Fasting not necessary, but preferred
Reporting: Within 6 hours*
No fasting is generally required for the Absolute DLC Counts Test, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Continue taking your regular medications unless instructed differently by your doctor. Inform your doctor if you are taking steroids, immunosuppressants, antibiotics, chemotherapy, or other medications that may affect white blood cell counts.
Drink adequate water before the blood sample is collected unless otherwise instructed.
Inform your doctor if you have fever, recurrent infections, allergies, asthma, autoimmune disorders, recent surgery, or any ongoing illness, as these conditions may influence the test results.
Bring your doctor's prescription and any previous Complete Blood Count (CBC), Total Leukocyte Count (TLC), Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC), or other blood test reports, if available.
If the test is being performed to monitor treatment, such as chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy, follow your doctor's instructions regarding the timing of sample collection.
Arrive at the diagnostic centre 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration.
Absolute DLC Counts Test के लिए सामान्यतः उपवास (Fasting) की आवश्यकता नहीं होती, जब तक कि डॉक्टर विशेष रूप से सलाह न दें।
अपनी नियमित दवाइयाँ डॉक्टर के निर्देशानुसार लेते रहें। यदि आप स्टेरॉयड, इम्यूनोसप्रेसेंट, एंटीबायोटिक, कीमोथेरेपी या श्वेत रक्त कोशिकाओं (WBC) की संख्या को प्रभावित करने वाली दवाएँ ले रहे हैं, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर या प्रयोगशाला को अवश्य दें।
यदि डॉक्टर ने मना न किया हो, तो रक्त का नमूना देने से पहले पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पिएँ।
यदि आपको बार-बार संक्रमण, बुखार, एलर्जी, अस्थमा, ऑटोइम्यून रोग, हाल ही में सर्जरी या कोई अन्य बीमारी है, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर को अवश्य दें, क्योंकि इससे जांच के परिणाम प्रभावित हो सकते हैं।
यदि आपके पास पहले की Complete Blood Count (CBC), Total Leukocyte Count (TLC), Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC) या अन्य रक्त जांच रिपोर्टें हैं, तो उन्हें साथ लेकर आएँ।
यदि यह जांच कीमोथेरेपी या इम्यूनोसप्रेसिव उपचार की निगरानी के लिए कराई जा रही है, तो नमूना देने के समय के संबंध में डॉक्टर के निर्देशों का पालन करें।
पंजीकरण की प्रक्रिया पूरी करने के लिए निर्धारित समय से 10–15 मिनट पहले डायग्नोस्टिक सेंटर पहुँचें।
Absolute DLC Counts Test is a simple, safe, and minimally invasive blood test used to measure the absolute number of each type of white blood cell (WBC) in the bloodstream.
A trained phlebotomist cleans the skin over a vein in your arm with an antiseptic solution and collects a small blood sample using a sterile needle.
The blood sample is analysed using advanced automated haematology analysers, which calculate the Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC), Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC), Absolute Monocyte Count (AMC), Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC), and Absolute Basophil Count (ABC).
Unlike percentage-based Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC), this test provides the actual number of each white blood cell type, offering a more accurate assessment of immune function and helping diagnose bacterial and viral infections, allergic disorders, inflammatory diseases, immune deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, and haematological disorders.
The Absolute DLC Counts Test is usually performed along with a Complete Blood Count (CBC), Total Leukocyte Count (TLC), and Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC) to provide a comprehensive evaluation of blood and immune health.
The blood collection procedure usually takes 5–10 minutes, requires no anaesthesia, and patients can resume their normal daily activities immediately after sample collection.
The results are analysed by experienced laboratory professionals and reviewed by qualified pathologists to ensure accurate interpretation and reliable reporting.
The test report is generally available within 24 hours.
