In the advanced diagnostic centre, Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which is certified by NABL, NABH, DLC, and TLC, blood tests are offered. These tests check the level of white blood cells and the percentage of each type of white blood cell in the blood. They are useful to doctors to determine immune system function and any signs of a possible infection, inflammation, and various types of blood-related illnesses.

What are TLC, DLC Tests?

TLC and DLC are blood tests performed using a blood sample collected from a vein, usually in the arm. TLC provides the total white blood cell count, while DLC shows the distribution of different white blood cell types.

Changes in these values may occur due to infections, inflammation, allergic reactions, immune-related conditions, certain medications, or blood disorders. Doctors interpret the results along with the patient's symptoms and medical history.

Conditions Evaluated

Bacterial and Viral Infections

A change in cellular WBC and distribution of various white blood cells can happen during bacterial and viral infection. These results can be used as an aid to clinical evaluation, but alone will not provide a diagnosis.

Inflammatory Conditions

A rise or fall in the number of white blood cells can be linked to inflammation from infections, autoimmune diseases, or other illnesses. Further tests may be needed to determine the underlying cause.

Allergic Conditions

Eosinophils are a type of blood leukocytes that are associated with allergic reactions. Some allergies, asthma, and parasites have elevated eosinophil levels.

Immune System Disorders

In some immune disorders, there is an increase or decrease in a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes. Further tests may be ordered based on a patient's symptoms and test results.

Blood and Bone Marrow Disorders

Significant or chronic leukocytosis or leukopenia can occur with some blood/bone marrow disorders. Additional blood tests and/or professional assessment may be necessary.
