    What is Total WBC Count (TC) Test?

    The Total WBC test counts the white blood cells (leukocytes) in your blood, which are vital parts of your immune system and are produced in the bone marrow. These cells play a key role in defending your body by moving to infection or injury sites to fight off bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances. The test looks at all five main types of white blood cells:

    Neutrophils : Fight bacterial and fungal infections and remove foreign debris. ● Lymphocytes : Include T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells that help fight viral infections and generate antibodies. ● Eosinophils : Target parasites, cancer cells, and assist in allergic reactions. ● Basophils : Trigger allergic reactions such as coughing, sneezing, or a runny nose. ● Monocytes : Defend the body against infections.

    Undergoing a WBC test helps assess your immune system's health and detect underlying health problems early, preventing them from developing into more serious conditions. For more detailed information, a blood differential test can provide the specific count of each type of white blood cell.

    Total WBC Count (TC) Test Parameters

    The Total WBC test measures a key parameter: the total count of white blood cells in your blood sample. These cells circulate through the bloodstream and tissues, signalling other cells to combat foreign invaders. When you're ill, your body produces more white blood cells to fight the infection. A low white blood cell count (leukopenia) can heighten the risk of infections, while a high white blood cell count (leucocytosis) may indicate an active infection.

    Total WBC Count (TC) Test Preparation

    Keep these things in mind before getting the Total WBC Test:

    • Prerequisites: There are no special requirements like fasting before the test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: You can take the test at any time throughout the day.

    • Who Should Get a Total WBC Test: Those showing signs of infection, inflammation, or autoimmune conditions should consider this test. It is also necessary for individuals with weakened immune systems or those on immune-suppressing medications.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Total WBC Test: Be sure to inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are currently using before undergoing the test.

    Why Take the Total WBC Count (TC) Test?

    A WBC test is vital for assessing immune health and detecting various health conditions. Here are some reasons why you might need this test:

    Signs of Infection: If you're experiencing symptoms such as fever, chills, body aches, headache, red or pus-filled wounds, or a persistent cough, this test helps identify infections.

    Symptoms of Inflammation or Autoimmune Disorders: These conditions may vary depending on the affected area. A WBC test helps detect these disorders and assists in further diagnosis.

    Weak Immune System or Medication Effects: If you're dealing with an illness like HIV or taking immune-suppressing drugs like chemotherapy, this test tracks white blood cell counts. A low count may require adjustments in your treatment plan.

    Testing for Children: This test may be required for newborns or older children during routine check-ups or if they exhibit symptoms of a white blood cell disorder.
