107
ANC is used to determine ________. A normal ANC is ______. An ANC of _____ is of concern
- the level of immunocompetency in patients receiving chemotherapy.
- above 1,500 cells/μL

108
The ANC is calculated by multiplying the WBC count times the percent of neutrophils (segmented + bands) in the WBC differential count. In order to calculate this: WBC = 300; % of polys = 10/100, or 0.10; % of bands = 5/100, or 0.05. Example: 300 × (0.1 + 0.05) = 45. The normal range for ANC is between 1,500/mm3 and 8,000/mm3. Reminder: neutrophils = polys + bands.
