RBC 6.18

High RBC level of 6.18 can cause a number of symptoms.

An abnormal RBC (Red Blood Cell) count of 6.18 shows how many red cells are present in your blood. An abnormal RBC count of 6.18 may cause anemia and result in tiredness, dizziness, or rapid heartbeat. Abnormal levels could indicate dehydration, polycythemia vera, or chronic lung diseases. This test is a fundamental part of a complete blood count (CBC) and helps evaluate overall health and oxygen-carrying capacity. Several treatments can help, but the immediate change in your diet is key.

What to do after RBC blood test?

If bleeding occurs after your RBC test, raise your arm and apply pressure to the spot for at least 3 minutes. It’s normal to see some bruising after a RBC blood draw. If you feel pain following the RBC test, apply ice wrapped in a towel to the area for 10 minutes. For anything more than mild discomfort, contact your doctor.
