haemoglobin, TOTAL AND DIFFERENTIAL LEUCOCYTE COUNTS (HB, TLC & DLC)

This test is a complete blood routine test carried out to measure the different components of blood. It gives information about the general health of the person. Hb measures the number of red blood cells, TLC measures the total number of white blood cells, which if high in number indicates an infection, DLC measures the consistency and structure of the white blood cells and counts the percentage of basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes.
