What Is an Red Blood Cells Count Test?
An RBC test, also called a red blood cell count, measures the number of red blood cells in a sample of your blood. Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to every tissue in the body and carry carbon dioxide back again. The test is usually reported as part of a Complete Blood Count and is one of the most common ways to check for anaemia, dehydration and other red cell disorders. At Sun Diagnostics in Navi Mumbai, your sample is analysed on calibrated haematology analysers and reviewed by our pathologists.

Why Is an RBC Test Important?
An RBC test is a simple, low cost investigation that tells your doctor a great deal about your blood health and oxygen carrying capacity.
- Detect anaemia early, often before tiredness and breathlessness become severe.
- Identify a raised red blood cell count, which may point to dehydration, lung conditions or polycythaemia.
- Investigate ongoing fatigue, dizziness, pale skin, headaches or shortness of breath.
- Monitor known conditions such as chronic kidney disease, thalassaemia, and iron or vitamin B12 deficiency.
- Track how well treatment is working, including iron supplements and vitamin B12 therapy.
- Support routine health checks so concerns are picked up before symptoms appear.
What Is Measured in an RBC Test?
Red Blood Cell Count
The total number of red blood cells in a set volume of blood. A low count commonly points to anaemia, while a high count may suggest dehydration or polycythaemia.
Haemoglobin and Haematocrit
Haemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen, and haematocrit is the share of blood made up of red cells. Together they confirm how well your blood carries oxygen.
RBC Indices and RDW
MCV, MCH, MCHC and RDW describe the size, haemoglobin content and uniformity of your red cells, helping identify the type of anaemia present.
