Test Code

Total Leukocyte Count (TLC) determines the overall number of white blood cells (WBCs) present in the blood, reflecting the body’s immune response. An abnormal TLC may indicate infections, inflammation, bone marrow disorders, leukemia, or immune suppression.

Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC) further breaks down WBCs into neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Each cell type has a specific role in immunity, and variations in their proportions help identify bacterial or viral infections, allergic conditions, parasitic infestations, stress responses, and hematological disorders. TLC & DLC are commonly performed together as part of routine health checkups or during illness evaluation.
