A high hemoglobin count and red blood cell count occurs when you are living in high altitudes or you smoke. To compensate oxygen carrying capacity the body naturally increases the hemoglobin levels so that oxygen is supplied sufficiently in the body.
A positive result of full blood count means that you may have unsually high or low blood cells. This may indicate a condition or infection or diseases. Your doctor will help you find the exact cause.
Though rarely red blood cell count can fluctuate week to week depending on diet, hydration and stress levels.
Total leucocyte count (TLC) or white blood cell count measures the number of leucocytes in the body. The differential leucocyte count (DLC) measures the percentage of each type of WBC present in the blood. A differential count also can detect immature WBCs and abnormalities
RBC is a type of blood cell that is made in the bone marrow and found in the blood which carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. Haemoglobin is found only in red blood cells and the count is about 25 million per cell.
