Your question needs clarification. What do you want to know about red blood cell count?
Due to hemoglobin in the blood.
The CPT code for an automated red blood cell count is 85014. This code is used for the automated counting of red blood cells as part of a complete blood count (CBC) and is typically performed in a laboratory setting.
No, alcohol consumption does not lead to an increase in red blood cell count. In fact, excessive alcohol consumption can actually decrease red blood cell count and lead to anemia.
The formula to calculate red blood cells is: Total Red Blood Cells (RBC) = Red blood cell count (RBC count) in millions per microliter (mcL) x Volume of blood in milliliters (mL).
Red blood cell count
An infection may decrease the red blood cell count. For example, ebola will do so.
Hematocrit is a measure of the proportion of blood volume that is composed of red blood cells. A low hematocrit level can indicate anemia or other medical conditions, suggesting a lower than normal red blood cell count. Therefore, while hematocrit itself is not a "blood count," a low hematocrit level typically reflects a low red blood cell count.
The count will be artificially low

Red blood cell count (RBC-count) is the number of erythrocytes in one liter of blood.Packed cell volume (PCV) is the percentage of erythrocytes in one liter of blood. Thus, PCV is a measure of the totalvolume of red blood cells in a sample, while RBC-count is the number of red blood cells in a sample, MCV- mean corpuscular volume is the mean volume of erythrocytes in a sample, thus:PCV = RBC-count x MCV
RBC stands for red blood cell. It is a component of the complete blood count (CBC) test that measures the number of red blood cells in a sample of blood. RBCs are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells. The reticulocyte count is most useful if you have anemia (low red blood cell count). A low reticulocyte count means your body is not making enough red blood cells in the first place. There may be a problem with your bone marrow. A high reticulocyte count means you are losing your red blood cells after you make them, maybe because of bleeding or red blood cells that break down too quickly.
