About test
What does Total Leucocyte Count (TLC) measure?
Total Leucocyte Count (TLC) measures the total number of white blood cells (leucocytes) in the blood. White blood cells are part of the immune system and help the body respond to infections, inflammation, and other health conditions. This test may be used to assess immune system activity, investigate symptoms such as fever or recurrent infections, or monitor certain medical conditions and treatments. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings.
