What Is a White Blood Cells Test?
A WBC test, also called a white blood cell count or total leucocyte count, measures the number of white blood cells in a sample of your blood. White blood cells are the main defence of your immune system against bacteria, viruses and other infections. The test is usually reported as part of a Complete Blood Count and is one of the quickest ways to check for infection, inflammation and immune disorders. At Sun Diagnostics in Navi Mumbai, your sample is analysed on calibrated haematology analysers and reviewed by our pathologists.

Why Is a WBC Test Important?
A WBC test is a fast, low cost investigation that tells your doctor how your immune system is responding and whether infection or inflammation is present.
- Detect bacterial and viral infections early, often before an illness becomes severe.
- Identify a raised white cell count, which may point to active infection, inflammation or a blood disorder.
- Investigate a low white cell count, which can follow viral illness, certain medicines or bone marrow problems.
- Check recurring fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers, slow healing wounds or frequent infections.
- Monitor immunity during ongoing treatment, including chemotherapy and long term steroid use.
- Support routine health checks so immune concerns are picked up before symptoms appear.
What Is Measured in a White Blood Cells Test?
Total WBC Count
The overall number of white blood cells in a set volume of blood. A high count often signals infection or inflammation, while a low count may indicate reduced immunity.
Differential Leucocyte Count
Breaks the total down into neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils, helping separate bacterial infection from viral illness or allergy.
Absolute Cell Counts
Absolute neutrophil, lymphocyte and eosinophil counts give precise figures rather than percentages, which your doctor uses to judge infection risk and allergy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare for a WBC test?
No special preparation is needed for a WBC test on its own. Eat and drink as usual unless your doctor advises otherwise, and mention any medicines you take, as some can affect white cell counts.
Do I need to fast before a WBC test?
Fasting is not required for a white blood cell count. If your doctor has combined it with tests such as blood sugar or a lipid profile, you may be asked to fast for 8 to 12 hours.
How long does it take to receive my WBC test report?
Most WBC and CBC reports are ready within 24 hours. Your digital report is sent to you and our team is available if you need help understanding it.
