Complete blood count with white blood cell differential analysis.
A complete blood count (CBC) is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests and provides a broad overview of your overall health. It measures the concentration and characteristics of three major cell types in your blood: red blood cells (which carry oxygen), white blood cells (which fight infection), and platelets (which help with clotting). The test includes hemoglobin, hematocrit, red cell indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC), and a white blood cell differential that breaks down the five types of white cells. Abnormal results can indicate conditions ranging from anemia and infection to more serious blood disorders, making the CBC an essential baseline test for preventive health screening.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
Anyone seeking a general health assessment or annual checkup. People experiencing unexplained fatigue, weakness, bruising, or frequent infections. Useful as a baseline before starting new medications, monitoring existing conditions, or as part of a pre-surgical evaluation.
