Short answer

RBC stands for Red Blood Cell, which is a type of blood cell that carries oxygen throughout the body. A blood test, also known as a RBC count, measures the number of red blood cells in your blood.

Evidence notes

The evidence is consistent across multiple reputable sources, including MedlinePlus, URMC, and UMass Memorial Health. These sources confirm that a RBC count is a blood test that measures the number of red blood cells in your blood, typically done as part of a complete blood count to screen for various medical conditions.

Safety boundary

There are no urgent red flags or warnings associated with a RBC count. However, if you have any concerns or questions about your test results, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional.
