What is TC, DC, Hb%, ESR?

The TC (Total Count), DC (Differential Count), Hb% (Hemoglobin Percentage), and ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) are blood tests used to assess overall health and detect conditions like anemia, infection, or inflammation. Preparation: Typically, no fasting is required, but follow specific instructions.

Procedure: Blood is drawn from a vein. Risks: Minimal, with slight discomfort or bruising.

Interpretation: Abnormal results may indicate infections, anemia, or inflammatory conditions. Conditions affecting results: Medications, dehydration, or recent illness can alter readings.

Expect results within hours to a day, and consult a doctor for diagnosis.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
