Test Detail

Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Urine

An Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) is a blood test that measures eosinophils, a type of white blood cell crucial for fighting allergies, parasitic infections, and some inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Elevated levels, or eosinophilia, can signal these conditions, while low levels may be due to alcohol intoxication or high cortisol. The AEC test is not performed on urine but rather on a blood sample, providing insights into the body's immune responses.
