RBC (Erythrocyte) Count

An RBC (Red Blood Cell) count is a Red blood cell count determined by a blood test (erythrocytes) present in your bloodstream. Red blood cells, also known as RBCs or red cells, which contain haemoglobin, transport oxygen throughout your body from your lungs. This test, often referred to as the RBC blood test, is a crucial component of a complete blood count (CBC), which is typically ordered as part of a routine health examination or to diagnose and monitor various health conditions.
