Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC)

Calculates the absolute neutrophil count, frequently used in neutropenic fever chemotherapy patients.

Percentage Neutrophils
Percentage Bands
WBC (per 1000. Enter as "8.4"; not "8400".)
Absolute Neutrophil Count cells/ml
Absolute Neutrophil Count = 10 * WBC count in 1000s * (% PMNs + % Bands)
Neutropenia: ANC < 1500 cells / mm3
  • Mild Neutropenia: 1000-1500 cells / mm3
  • Moderate Neutropenia: 500-999 cells / mm3
  • Severe Neutropenia: < 500 cells / mm3
Filgrastim (Neupogen), aka G-CSF, can stimulate production of neutrophils.
