Total RBCs(Red blood counts)
₹100
Advanced Pathology & Radiology Diagnostics Centre, Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy (NABL & NABH Accredited) offers a Total RBCs (Red Blood Cell Count) Test facility. To view how your body transports oxygen, reviewed at a high level in your blood, check your blood level of the red blood cells (RBCs) to help diagnose conditions like dehydration, anaemia, polycythaemia, and bone marrow disease. Educated laboratory technologists ensure that analysis is correct, the results are communicated promptly, and the patients are motivated to get an early diagnosis and treatment plan.
About Total RBCs (Red Blood Cell Count) Test
The Total RBCs (Red Blood Cell Count) Test is a test that is ordered to help get an overall idea about the RBCs (red blood cell) count, regardless of their functional status. Proteins in food carry oxygen molecules from the lungs to the rest of the body and carbon dioxide from the rest of the body to the lungs to be breathed out. The high quality of Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy's automated haematology analysers guarantees accurate and reliable values of RBC count.
What is a Total RBCs (Red Blood Cell Count) Test?
A Total RBCs Test is a blood test that is used to determine the amount of red blood cells in the blood. It is often ordered as part of a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test, and the levels may be followed in conditions that involve a disruption in red cell production/destruction. The test results may be supplemented by other tests to provide a clear picture of what's happening: Haemoglobin (Hb); Haematocrit (HCT); Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV); Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH); and Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC).
Common Reasons for a Total RBCs Test
- Evaluation of anaemia
- Persistent fatigue or weakness
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Routine health check-up
- Assessment of dehydration
- Monitoring blood disorders
- Follow-up during treatment for anaemia or other blood conditions
Conditions Evaluated
Anaemia
Helps detect a low red blood cell count that may reduce the body's oxygen-carrying capacity.
Polycythaemia
Identifies an abnormally high red blood cell count, which may increase the risk of blood clotting.
Bone Marrow Disorders
Assists in evaluating disorders affecting red blood cell production.
Dehydration
May show an increased RBC count due to reduced plasma volume.
Chronic Kidney Disease
Supports the assessment of reduced red blood cell production associated with kidney disorders.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Helps evaluate blood abnormalities caused by iron, vitamin B12, or folate deficiency when interpreted with other blood tests.

Test information: Fasting not necessary, but preferred
Reporting: Within 6 hours*
- No fasting is generally required for the Total RBCs (Red Blood Cell Count) Test, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
- Continue taking your regular medications unless instructed differently by your doctor. Inform your doctor if you are taking iron supplements, vitamin B12, folic acid, erythropoietin, or medications for blood disorders, as these may influence the test results.
- Drink adequate water before the blood sample is collected, as proper hydration helps ensure accurate test interpretation.
- Inform your doctor if you have recent blood loss, blood transfusion, dehydration, pregnancy, kidney disease, bone marrow disorders, or any chronic illness, as these conditions may affect your RBC count.
- Bring your doctor's prescription and any previous Complete Blood Count (CBC), Haemoglobin (Hb), Haematocrit (HCT), MCV, MCH, MCHC, or other relevant blood test reports, if available.
- If the test is being performed to monitor anaemia or other blood disorders, follow your doctor's instructions regarding the timing of sample collection.
- Arrive at the diagnostic centre 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration.
