    What is Total WBC Count (TC) Test?

    The Total WBC test measures white blood cells (leukocytes) in your blood, essential components of the immune system produced in bone marrow. These cells play a critical role in defending against infections and responding to injuries by targeting harmful pathogens. The test examines five key types of WBCs:

    Neutrophils: Protect against bacterial and fungal infections. ● Lymphocytes: Include T, B, and natural killer cells to fight viruses and produce antibodies. ● Eosinophils: Target parasites, and cancer cells, and support allergic responses. ● Basophils: Trigger allergy symptoms like sneezing, coughing, or nasal congestion. ● Monocytes: Act as a defence line against various infections.

    This test is vital for assessing immune health and identifying underlying health issues early, preventing complications. For more comprehensive information, a differential WBC test provides a specific breakdown of each cell type, enabling better diagnosis and treatment.

    Total WBC Count (TC) Test Parameters

    The Total WBC test evaluates a single parameter: the total white blood cell count in your blood. White blood cells move through the bloodstream and tissues, signalling others to help fight foreign substances. When illness occurs, your body increases white blood cell production to combat it. A low white blood cell count (leukopenia) may heighten infection risk, while a high count (leukocytosis) could indicate an active infection.

    Total WBC Count (TC) Test Preparation

    Here are some tips to consider before undergoing the Total WBC Test:

    • Prerequisites: No specific prerequisites such as fasting are required before undergoing the WBC test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: The test can be performed at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get a Total WBC Test: The test is recommended for individuals showing signs of infection, inflammation, or autoimmune disease. It’s also advised for those with weakened immune systems or using medications that suppress immune responses.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Total WBC Test: Let your doctor know if you’re taking any medications or supplements before the test.

    Why Take the Total WBC Count (TC) Test?

    A WBC test plays a vital role in assessing immune health and diagnosing multiple conditions. Here’s why it may be necessary:

    Signs of Infection: Symptoms like fever, chills, headache, body aches, pus-filled wounds, or chronic cough may indicate infection, which this test helps detect.

    Symptoms of Inflammation or Autoimmune Diseases: Depending on the area involved, symptoms can vary. A WBC test helps confirm the presence of these conditions and guides further medical evaluation.

    Weak Immune System or Medication Impact: Conditions like HIV or medications such as chemotherapy can lower immunity. This test monitors WBC counts, prompting necessary changes in treatment plans if levels are too low.

    Testing for Children: Routine screenings or symptoms of white blood cell disorders in newborns and children may require this test.
