Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Includes: 29 Parameters
What exactly is a CBC? A simple and frequently performed test called a complete blood count, or CBC is used to check for specific diseases that may have an impact on your health. A CBC identifies any alterations in your blood cell counts, whether positive or negative. Depending on your age and gender, there are different normal values. Your doctor may be able to assess your general health and identify illnesses by monitoring changes in your blood cell levels. The three fundamental categories of blood cells are measured by the test. Red blood cells WBCs are white blood cells Your body uses white blood cells to fight illness. A complete blood count (CBC) determines the number and type of white blood cells in your body. Any unusual increases or declines in the number or type of white blood cells could indicate infection, inflammation, or malignancy. Platelets Platelets aid in the clotting of blood and the control of bleeding. Platelets are responsible for stopping bleeding after a cut. Any variations in platelet levels can put you at risk of excessive bleeding and indicate a dangerous medical problem.
What does the Complete Blood Count (CBC) test evaluate? A CBC includes several parameters, including the number of blood cells and some of their physical characteristics. A conventional CBC has various elements about RBCs, WBCs, and PLT (platelets), which are explained in the sections that follow. Measurements of red blood cells RBCs, commonly known as erythrocytes, transport oxygen from your lungs to your tissues and organs. A CBC test comprises several basic RBC measurements: The physical characteristics of RBC are also described in CBC. Measurements of white blood cells Leukocytes, commonly known as white blood cells or WBCs, are a crucial component of the body’s immune system. The total number of WBCs in a sample of blood is measured by the WBC count, which is part of a typical CBC. The CBC with differential is one of the most popular CBC variations. The five different types of WBCs are broken down into the WBC differential as follows: Measurements of platelets Blood-circulating cell fragments known as platelets (PLT), also known as thrombocytes, are crucial for blood coagulation. The PLT count, or the quantity of PLT in your blood sample, is a regular part of the CBC. When should one have a full blood count? The CBC test is extremely common. A CBC may be performed as part of a routine health examination, when you are being diagnosed or evaluated for an illness or condition, or when your physician is evaluating the success of treatment.
