Selenium RBC

The Selenium RBC (Red Blood Cell) test measures the levels of selenium in red blood cells. Selenium is an essential trace mineral that plays a critical role in various bodily functions, including antioxidant defense, thyroid hormone metabolism, and immune function. The RBC test is considered more accurate for assessing selenium status compared to serum tests, as it reflects long-term selenium levels in the body.
