Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Calculator

Total WBC (cells/mm 3)
% of cells Neutrophils
% of cells Bands
ANC= (cells/mm3)

 
   
  



Formula Used:

ANC (cells/mm3) = [(Neutrophil % + Band Cells %) x Total WBC] / 100

Where,

ANC - Absolute Neutrophil Count
WBC - White Blood Cells

If ANC is lessthan 500 then the patient will be at risk for infection by a variety of pathogens. Free Online Medical Calculator.
