    What is Total WBC Count (TC) Test?

    The Total WBC test measures the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) in your blood, which are essential components of your immune system, produced in bone marrow. These cells help protect your body by travelling to sites of injury or infection to fight against bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. The test evaluates all five main types of WBCs:

    • Neutrophils: Act against bacterial and fungal infections and foreign debris.

    • Lymphocytes: Include T, B, and natural killer cells to combat viral infections and produce antibodies.

    • Eosinophils: Target parasites and cancer cells and support allergic responses.

    • Basophils: Trigger allergic reactions like coughing, sneezing, or running nose.

    • Monocytes: Protect the body from infections.

    Getting a WBC test can help you assess your immune health and identify underlying health issues early before they progress into something serious. For more detailed information, a differential blood test can determine the specific count of each type of white blood cell.

    Total WBC Count (TC) Test Parameters

    The Total WBC test measures an important parameter: the total count of white blood cells in your blood sample. These cells travel through blood and tissues, alerting others to combat foreign substances. During sickness, your body generates more white blood cells to fight the illness. A low count (leukopenia) can increase susceptibility to infections, while a high count (leucocytosis) might signal an active infection.

    Total WBC Count (TC) Test Preparation

    Consider the following points before taking the Total WBC Test:

    • Prerequisites: No special preparations, such as fasting, are needed for this test.

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

    • Who Should Get a Total WBC Test: Individuals with symptoms of infection, inflammation, or autoimmune conditions should consider this test. It’s also necessary for those with weakened immune systems or taking medications that lower immune response.

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

    Why Take the Total WBC Count (TC) Test?

    A WBC test is crucial for evaluating immune health and identifying various conditions. Here’s why you might need this test:

    Signs of Infection: If you have symptoms like fever, chills, body aches, headache, red or pus-filled wounds, or persistent cough, this test can help identify infections.

    Symptoms of Inflammation or Autoimmune Diseases: These conditions vary in symptoms based on the area affected. A WBC test assists in detecting their presence and supports further diagnosis.

    Weak Immune System or Medication Impact: If you have an illness like HIV or are on medications such as chemotherapy that suppress immunity, this test monitors white blood cell levels. A low count may require treatment adjustments.

    Testing for Children: This test may be needed for newborns or older children during routine screenings or if they show symptoms of a white blood cell disorder.
