What it measures
Complete Blood Count Test (CBC)
Clinical significance
A red blood cell count is a blood test that your doctor uses to find out how many red blood cells (RBCs) you have. It's also known as an erythrocyte count. The test is important because RBCs contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to your body's tissues. The amount of oxygen that's delivered to your body's tissues depends on the number of red blood cells you have and how well they work.
Normal RBC ranges are:
Male: 4.7 to 6.1 million cells per microliter (cells/mcL) Female: 4.2 to 5.4 million cells/mcL. Pregnancy: slightly lower than normal adult values.
When you don't have enough healthy red blood cells, you have a condition called anemia. This means your blood has lower than normal hemoglobin (Hgb) levels. Anemia is a common side effect in patients with cancer.
A high red blood cell count may be a symptom of a disease or disorder, although it doesn't always indicate a health problem. Health or lifestyle factors can cause a high red blood cell count. Medical conditions that can cause an increase in red blood cells include: Heart failure, causing low blood oxygen levels.
Real ratings and reviews from the Healsens app on the App Store and Google Play.
That's when I turned to a nutritionist and ordered a blood test through Healsens. … Four months later, I retested. My biological age dropped to 24—nearly a decade younger than my real age.

Read on App Store →Everything is great! Excellent app! It's very convenient for storing all your test results! The only thing I wish was that you could record blood pressure readings for both arms, as this is sometimes important for blood pressure monitoring.
Read on Google Play →A useful app. It motivates me to lead a healthy lifestyle and monitor my diet. After the test results, I decided to change my diet – I cut out flour and chocolate. I lost 2 kg in about a week. We'll see how the test results look over time.
