    What is Total WBC Count (TC) Test?

    The Total WBC test measures the count of white blood cells (leukocytes) in your blood, which are key components of your immune system. Produced in the bone marrow, these cells defend your body by targeting harmful bacteria, viruses, and other invaders. The test analyses five main types of WBCs:

    Neutrophils: Destroy bacteria, fungi, and foreign particles. ● Lymphocytes: Include T, B, and NK cells that fight viruses and create antibodies. ● Eosinophils: Defend against parasites, and cancer, and contribute to allergic responses. ● Basophils: Trigger allergy symptoms such as sneezing or nasal congestion. ● Monocytes: Act as protectors against infections.

    This test provides insight into immune health and helps detect health issues early, preventing severe conditions. For detailed results, a differential WBC test reveals the specific count of each type of white blood cell for a clearer understanding of immune function.

    Total WBC Count (TC) Test Parameters

    The Total WBC test determines a single parameter: the overall count of white blood cells in your blood. WBCs circulate through blood and tissues, signalling other cells to defend against foreign substances. When you are ill, your body produces additional white blood cells to fight the illness. A reduced count (leukopenia) can raise infection risk, while an elevated count (leucocytosis) may suggest the presence of an active infection.

    Follow these pointers before taking the Total WBC Test:

    • Prerequisites: There are no specific prerequisites like fasting required for this test.

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

    • Who Should Get a Total WBC Test: The test is suitable for individuals experiencing symptoms of infection, inflammation, or autoimmune disorders. It’s also helpful for those with compromised immunity or on medications that suppress immune function.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Total WBC Test: Inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are currently taking.

    Why Take the Total WBC Count (TC) Test?

    A WBC test is essential for monitoring immune health and diagnosing various conditions. Here’s why you might need it:

    Signs of Infection: Symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, body aches, red or pus-filled wounds, or persistent cough may suggest an infection, which this test can confirm.

    Symptoms of Inflammation or Autoimmune Diseases: Symptoms differ based on the affected area. The WBC test aids in detecting these conditions and supports further diagnostic steps.

    Weak Immune System or Medication Impact: Diseases like HIV or treatments like chemotherapy weaken the immune system. The WBC test tracks white blood cell levels to help adjust treatments if counts drop too low.

    Testing for Children: For newborns and older children, this test may be part of routine checkups or used to investigate potential white blood cell disorders.
