What is a TLC (TOTAL LEUCOCYTE COUNT)?

The TLC (Total Leucocyte Count) test is a routine blood test that measures the number of white blood cells (leucocytes) present in the blood. White blood cells are vital components of the immune system, helping the body fight infections and inflammation. Healthcare professionals often recommend this test to evaluate overall health, detect infections, monitor immune function, or assess conditions like leukemia and autoimmune disorders. It provides important diagnostic information and is commonly included in complete blood count (CBC) panels.
