Description
The Absolute Monocyte Count is a specific measurement of monocytes, a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the immune system. This test is typically part of a complete blood count (CBC) with differential. Monocytes are important in fighting certain infections and are involved in the removal of dead or damaged tissues. Elevated counts can indicate chronic inflammatory diseases, certain infections, or some types of leukemia. Low counts may suggest bone marrow suppression or certain autoimmune disorders. This test is valuable in diagnosing and monitoring a range of conditions, including chronic infections and myelomonocytic leukemia.
