# Zinc, RBC

> This test measures the amount of zinc found inside your red blood cells. It helps show whether your body has stored enough of this mineral to support wound healing and a healthy immune system over time. Doctors use this measurement to check for nutritional deficiencies or potential exposure to toxic levels of zinc. However, this test alone cannot diagnose specific diseases like liver cirrhosis or cystic fibrosis.
