What Is This Test?
Measures the absolute number of monocytes in a microlitre of blood.
Why this test is performed?
These are white cells that clean up dead cells and fight certain infections; raised levels are seen in chronic infections such as TB, recovery from infection and some blood disorders. The absolute count is more reliable than the percentage alone for judging whether levels are truly high or low.
Who should take this test?
Tiredness, weakness, pale skin, fever, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding; routine health check-ups.
Test Preparation
No fasting needed.
