TLC stands for total leukocyte count & DLC stands for differential leukocyte count.
Leukocytes are also called white blood cells (WBCs) and help our immune system in fighting several diseases. These are of five types: neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes.

The ESR is a blood test used to check the development of different diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, temporal arteritis, etc.
