WBCs are crucial for the immune system, helping the body fight infections, inflammation, and other diseases. Abnormal levels may indicate infections, immune disorders, or bone marrow issues.

Overview

Overview:
The Total Leucocyte Count (TLC) test measures the total number of white blood cells (WBCs) in the blood. WBCs play a crucial role in the immune system by defending the body against infections and foreign invaders. This test is often included in a Complete Blood Count (CBC) panel.

 

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment:

  • Increased TLC (Leukocytosis) may indicate:

    • Infection
    • Inflammation
    • Stress
    • Leukemia
    • Autoimmune diseases
    • Allergic reactions
  • Decreased TLC (Leukopenia) may indicate:

    • Viral infections
    • Bone marrow disorders
    • Autoimmune diseases
    • Chemotherapy side effects
    • Nutritional deficiencies (e.g., Vitamin B12, folate).
Normal Range:

Normal Range:

  • Adults: 4,000 – 11,000 WBCs per microliter (µL) of blood
  • Children: 5,000 – 15,000 WBCs/µL
  • Newborns: 9,000 – 30,000 WBCs/µL

(Values may vary slightly based on the laboratory and individual health conditions.).

Interpretation:

Interpretation:

  • Higher than normal (>11,000 WBCs/µL): Possible infection, inflammation, stress, or hematological disorders.
  • Lower than normal (<4,000 WBCs/µL): May suggest immune suppression, viral infections, or bone marrow disorders.
Sample Type

Sample Type:

  • Specimen: Venous blood
  • Collection Method: Blood sample drawn from a vein (usually from the arm)
  • Preparation: No special fasting required unless specified by a doctor.
