Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Comprehensive Complete Blood Count (CBC) is one of the most commonly ordered and informative blood tests in clinical medicine. Using an automated hematology analyzer, CBC measures key blood components including Red Blood Cell count (RBC), Hemoglobin (Hb), Hematocrit (HCT/PCV), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW), White Blood Cell count (WBC) with differential (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils), and Platelet count with Mean Platelet Volume (MPV). CBC is essential for diagnosing anemia (iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, thalassemia), detecting infections (bacterial, viral), identifying blood disorders (leukemia, lymphoma, thrombocytopenia), monitoring chemotherapy effects, pre-surgical assessment, and routine health screening. No fasting is required. Simply stay well hydrated before the test. Results are available within 2-4 hours with a comprehensive report including reference ranges and clinical interpretation.
