rbc - as you stated red blood count
It is the amount of red cells found in a volume of blood, as opposed to plasma, leukocyte , (white blood cells), etc. Basically depending on what the blood service needs it has a count scale to work from

It would be interesting to know the three letter codes to which you are referring.
There would be many of them so I will include a few.
FBE: full blood examination
LFT'S: liver function test
ESR: tests to determine whether you have an infection
RFT's kidney function tests
HIV: is self explanatory
MNC: mononucleosis, which can also be found on liver function tests
That can be a start. You can google these if you wish and of course they will vary from country to country

Well, I'm not sure what exact abbreviations they use in your lab and what you need to know, but the common ones mean (this isn't necessarily what the letters stand for)
WBC - white blood cells
RBC - red blood cells
Plt - platelets
Hb - hemoglobin
Hct - hematocrit (this and hemoglobin basically measure the same thing different ways)
MCV - mean corpuscular volume (for red blood cells)
MCH - mean corpuscular hemoglobin (again, for red cells)
RDW - Red cell distribution width (basically how different in size are your red cells from one another)

RBC - Red blood cells
Low RBC would open you to many diseases. Take more iron supplements.
