RBC means red blood cell count. It measures how many red blood cells are in a blood sample; these cells carry oxygen around the body. AI can explain the term and help compare it with hemoglobin and hematocrit, but a high or low result needs clinician review with symptoms, medicines, hydration, health history, and the lab's reference range.
