Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count
Explanation: Red Blood Cells (RBCs) carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and remove carbon dioxide. They contain hemoglobin, which binds oxygen and ensures the body’s tissues get the oxygen they need for energy.
Test purpose: An RBC count is part of a Complete Blood Count (CBC). Low RBC count (anemia) may indicate blood loss, iron or vitamin deficiencies, kidney disease, or bone marrow disorders. High RBC count (polycythemia) may suggest dehydration, lung disease, heart disease.
- Detect anemia (low RBCs) or polycythemia (high RBCs).
- Assess oxygen-carrying capacity and overall blood health.
- Monitor chronic conditions affecting red blood cell production (e.g., kidney disease, bone marrow disorders).
