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

    A Red Blood Cell (RBC) test determines how many red blood cells are circulating in your blood. The RBCs are formed in the bone marrow and are packed with protein. This protein (haemoglobin) is essential for transporting oxygen to cells, promoting growth, energy production, and reproduction. Additionally, the RBCs also play a role in removing carbon dioxide from the body by carrying it to the lungs for exhalation.

    A proper RBC count is essential for optimal health. If you're based in Noida, booking an RBC test can help uncover potential issues early, allowing for a swift diagnosis and effective intervention.

    Red Blood Cell Count (RBC Count) Test Parameters

    The RBC test calculates the total number of red blood cells in a blood sample, focusing on a single parameter.

    This test is often included in a complete blood count (CBC) panel that examines multiple blood cell types. It involves collecting a small blood sample, with the procedure typically lasting less than five minutes.
