Total Leukocyte Count (TLC) is used for calculating leukocytes or white blood cells (WBC) in your body. It is a blood test. White blood cells help us to combat several infections and diseases. Leukocytes are made in the bone marrow and then released in the blood.
Our blood consists of WBCs, Red Blood Cells (RBCs), and platelets. All of these perform their own specific functions. WBCs or leukocytes are further divided into 5 categories: Monocytes, Lymphocytes, Neutrophils, Basophils, Eosinophils.

AN OVERVIEW
About TLC test
Why is the TLC test done?
Leukocytes protect us from various viruses, bacteria, and pathogens. Thus, when your body is unable to fight against these, the TLC test is conducted, to measure the count of leukocytes.
What does the TLC measure?
TLC test measures the levels of leukocytes or white blood cells present in your bloodstream. Their levels or ranges are divided into three categories, based on age:
| Age Range | WBC Count (per mcL of blood) |
| Infants | 8900 – 30000 |
| Kids under 2 | 6100 – 17500 |
| Kids over 2 & adults | 5000 – 11000 |
The below table shows different types of WBCs and their normal percentage of overall WBC count:
| Type of Leukocytes or WBCs | Normal percent of overall WBC count |
| Basophil | 0.5 to 1 |
| Monocyte | 2 to 8 |
| Eosinophil | 1 to 4 |
| Lymphocyte | 21 to 40 |
| Neutrophil | 55 to 74 |
Depending on your TLC test results, the doctor will examine the illness and the course of treatment that should be followed.
Risks/side-effects of TLC test
There are usually no side effects or risks associated with a TLC test. However, you might feel some pain for a few days in the area from where the blood will be taken using a needle. You can cover the same area with a bandaid to prevent infections from developing. Avoid lifting bulky items for a few hours after the TLC test.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the TLC test results
Your doctor will examine your TLC test results. However, you should also keep a few things in mind for interpreting your test results.
The table highlights the normal range of leukocytes or white blood cells (WBCs) with its components that should be present in an adult body (18+ years old).
| Name | Normal range/microliter |
| WBCs | 4500-11000 |
| Monocytes | 0-800 |
| Lymphocytes | 1000-4800 |
| Neutrophils | 1800-7800 |
| Basophils | 0-200 |
| Eosinophils | 0-450 |
If your TLC test results show that these leukocytes are present in an abnormal range, chances are that you might be having an underlying illness. For instance, if neutrophils are released in an excessive amount, you might be having some bacterial infection. Similarly, an elevated number of eosinophils indicate some allergic reaction. Increase in the number of lymphocytes may signify some viral infections. By examining all these, the healthcare worker will provide a proper treatment.
