    What is Red Blood Cell Count (RBC Count) Test?

    An RBC test evaluates the total count of red blood cells, or erythrocytes, in your blood. These cells, produced in the bone marrow, are loaded with haemoglobin, an iron-rich protein that carries oxygen to support cellular functions such as growth, energy generation, and reproduction. RBCs also carry carbon dioxide to the lungs for exhalation, which aids in the body's elimination of carbon dioxide.

    A balanced RBC count is vital for maintaining good health. If you're in Delhi, consider scheduling an RBC test to identify irregularities early, ensuring timely diagnosis and treatment.

    Red Blood Cell Count (RBC Count) Test Parameters

    The Red Blood Cell test specifically determines only a single parameter: the total number of RBCs in your blood.

    A complete blood count (CBC), which assesses several blood cell types, typically includes this test. The RBC test requires only a small sample and is completed in just a few minutes.
