As the name suggests, the RBC count test measures the number of red blood cells in our bloodstream. Red blood cells are extremely important for the functioning of the body. They carry oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body since cells need oxygen to reproduce and stay healthy. Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes. Therefore, an abnormality in the number of red blood cells could be an indication of a major health disease that the individual could be suffering from.

What does the RBC Count test measure?
The blood contains red blood cells, which are essential for the body to work properly. The red blood cells are not only responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body, but they are also responsible for carrying carbon dioxide to the lungs for a person to exhale.
The major aim of the RBC count test is to measure the number of red blood cells inside the body. There is a certain range inside which the RBC count should be. If the RBC count is lower or higher than the normal range, that could indicate a major health issue. One of the major disorders for which the RBC count test is anaemia. Under this condition, the body isn’t able to make enough red blood cells which affect the transportation of oxygen to all parts of the body. So, a doctor should be consulted after you get the test results.
Risk/Side-effects of RBC Count test
Generally, there is very little risk of any major symptoms inside the body. The person might feel slight pain (or some bruising) in the area where the needle has been pierced to take the blood. But those tend to disappear pretty quickly and not cause any major problems to the patient. In very rare cases, the patient might develop blood collection under the skin or infection at the site where the needle was pierced. But that is a very rare occurrence and nothing major to worry about
