cell counts
Blood test numbers
Cell counts are measurements of the number of cells in a sample, typically of blood, tissue, or other biological material.
A complete blood count measures red cells, white cells, and platelets.
Cell counts help diagnose infections, anemia, and other conditions: Her white cell count was elevated, suggesting infection.
In research contexts, cell counts track growth in cultures or assess tissue samples.
