with testing for diabetes, genetically transferred diseases, and infectious diseases like

HIV. ANC profile tests also help the doctor monitor the growth of the fetus and provide

treatment if required. he ANC is not measured directly, it is measured by the percentage of

neutrophils in the differential WBC count. The normal range of ANC for a healthy

individual is 2,500 to 6,000 per micro-liter.
