What does TOTAL RBC measure?
The Total RBC test measures the number of red blood cells in the blood. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to body tissues and help transport carbon dioxide back to the lungs. This test may be used as part of a blood count to evaluate changes in red blood cell levels, which can occur with various health conditions or blood loss. Results are interpreted along with other blood tests and clinical information.
