Absolute Granulocyte Count

Granulocytes are the most frequent form of white blood cell seen in the human bloodstream. The Absolute Granulocyte Count (AGC) results from a blood test that determines the number of cells in each blood cell type, hemoglobin levels, and the total number of granulocytes in the blood.

Granulocytosis occurs when the blood contains an excessive number of granulocytes.

A high WBC count usually means you have an infection or sickness. 

Why done? 

• A small or large quantity of granulocytes in the blood is not standard, usually indicative of a medical condition.  

• Leukemia usually produces a low granulocyte count. Abnormal bleeding, lethargy, loss of appetite, pale complexion, night sweats, and recurrent infections are all indications and symptoms.

• Granulocytosis is an excessively high granulocyte count in the blood. Granulocytosis is the most widespread chronic myelogenous leukemia symptom. This rare bone marrow malignancy prevents cell growth.
