Yes, if a physicain orders a hcg, then yes you can tell from a blood sample. In fact, a serum hcg is much more accurate than a urine hcg.
As for the WBCs and RBCs increasing, informer, what are you talking about?

@utopia

the doctor will be looking specifically for the hcg
not if its simple blood test... I think the user is asking about a standard blood test...
a doctor wont check unless YOU ask him too...

Depends on the reason the doctor ordered the test...routine physical
or something such as abdominal pain, constipation, etc.
I just didn't understand your connection of elevated WBC or RBC. Neither which should be elevated unless there is an underlying diagnosis such as infection or perhaps polycythemia.

I said small amount of course not surpassing the usual maximum of R/WBC number...
or even really showing any significant increase... O_o I was just saying what could be seen on a simple test... nothing more...
