RBC is a type of blood cell that is made in the bone marrow and found in the blood which carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. Haemoglobin is found only in red blood cells and the count is about 25 million per cell.
A positive result of full blood count means that you may have unsually high or low blood cells. This may indicate a condition or infection or diseases. Your doctor will help you find the exact cause.
A high hemoglobin count and red blood cell count occurs when you are living in high altitudes or you smoke. To compensate oxygen carrying capacity the body naturally increases the hemoglobin levels so that oxygen is supplied sufficiently in the body.
Low RBC counts are those below 4.7 for men, 4.2 for women, and 4.1 for children. This usually occurs due to anemia.
If you have a high TLC level in a blood test, it indicates that you might have an infection or suffer from an underlying medical condition.
