HomeLab TestTC - RBC
Overview
The TC-RBC test measures the total cholesterol content within red blood cells. It provides insights into cholesterol metabolism at the cellular level, aiding in the assessment of lipid disorders and cardiovascular risk.
Risk assessment
The TC-RBC (Total Cholesterol - Red Blood Cell) test is a standard blood test with minimal risk. The primary risk is related to the blood draw, which may cause minor bruising, bleeding, or infection at the puncture site.
Ranges
The reference range for TC-RBC varies but is typically less than 100 μg/10^12 RBCs. Values above the reference range may indicate altered cholesterol metabolism within red blood cells.
Test result interpretation
Elevated TC-RBC levels: May indicate disturbances in cholesterol homeostasis within red blood cells, potentially associated with lipid disorders or increased cardiovascular risk.
Normal TC-RBC levels: Suggests cholesterol metabolism within red blood ...
Sample types
A blood sample is required, typically drawn from a vein in the arm. The sample is then processed in the laboratory to measure the cholesterol content within red blood cells.
