What is ZINC, RBC?
This test measures the amount of zinc inside your red blood cells (RBCs). Unlike serum zinc, RBC zinc provides a more accurate and long-term picture of your body's zinc status, reflecting levels over several weeks or months.
Why is this test important?
Assessing RBC zinc levels is crucial for identifying chronic zinc deficiency or excess, which can impact immune function, wound healing, and growth. It's often used when a more comprehensive evaluation of zinc status is needed.
