Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count

The Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count test at Pamel Laboratories measures the number of red blood cells in your blood. Red blood cells are essential for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and removing carbon dioxide. This test plays a key role in assessing overall health, detecting anemia, and monitoring chronic illnesses.

Abnormal RBC levels can indicate conditions such as anemia, dehydration, bone marrow disorders, or heart and lung diseases. It is often part of a Complete Blood Count (CBC) but can also be ordered individually when a focused analysis is needed.

Purpose of the Test:

• Diagnose anemia or polycythemia

• Evaluate symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, or shortness of breath

• Monitor ongoing medical conditions and treatments

• Pre-operative evaluation of blood health

• Investigate chronic conditions or nutritional deficiencies

Normal Range:

• Men: 4.7 – 6.1 million cells per microliter

• Women: 4.2 – 5.4 million cells per microliter
  (Ranges may vary depending on age, gender, and laboratory standards)
