Tlc/Wbc (Total Leucocytes Count)

Overview:
The TLC/WBC (Total Leucocytes Count) test measures the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) in the blood. White blood cells play a crucial role in the immune system by defending the body against infections. This test helps assess immune system function and detect infections, inflammations, or blood disorders.

What it detects:
The test detects abnormal levels of white blood cells. High levels can indicate an infection, inflammation, or leukemia, while low levels may suggest a weakened immune system or conditions like bone marrow disorders or viral infections.

Who should get it:
Individuals with signs of infection, such as fever, chills, or fatigue, should consider this test. It is also recommended for those experiencing unexplained weight loss, frequent infections, or those undergoing treatment for blood or immune disorders.
