Red Blood Cell Count

    Last Updated: October 13, 2024

    Red blood cell count refers to total erythrocytes in serum, and is usually measured in toxicology testing or some instances of anemia. Although higher than average levels of red blood cells can needlessly increase blood pressure, it supports aerobic exercise and oxygen delivery.
