DLC refers to the differential leukocyte count test.
Leukocytes, also known as white blood cells (WBCs), are an integral part of our immune system. WBCs are classified into five kinds: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes and lymphocytes. All of them have their own specific functions.
Elevated levels of white blood cells can denote the presence of chronic illness that might require a proper treatment.
