TOTAL LEUCOCYTES COUNT

The total leukocyte (white blood cell) count test measures the number of white blood cells in the blood. White blood cells are essential for the immune response and fighting infections. This test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions affecting the immune system, such as infections, inflammation, and blood disorders. Elevated white blood cell counts can indicate infections, inflammation, or leukemia, while low counts suggest conditions such as bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, or viral infections. The total leukocyte count test provides valuable information for assessing immune health, diagnosing underlying conditions, and guiding treatment decisions.
