How the RBC Test Is Done :

When your doctor recommends a RBC test, you'll likely undergo a simple blood draw specifically to measure RBC levels. A pathologist, a specialist in disease study, will collect a small blood sample from your veins using a needle. Your RBC test results are typically available within a few hours after the procedure.
