COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC/HAEMOGRAM)

What is a Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test?

A Complete Blood Count test, commonly called a CBC test, is one of the most basic and commonly advised blood tests. Doctors usually suggest it when someone is feeling weak, has fever, or just wants a routine health check done. It gives a quick idea about your blood health and overall condition.

A CBC test in PHULERA checks different components of blood like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These values can indicate anemia, infections, inflammation, or immunity-related issues. Since this test forms the base of many diagnosis, accuracy matters a lot. That’s why many people in PHULERA prefer getting their CBC test done from Dr. B. Lal Clinical Lab, known for consistent and reliable diagnostic testing over years.
 

Complete Blood Count Test Parameters

A CBC test includes several parameters. Individually they may look confusing, but when seen together they give useful information about your health and body condition.

Red Blood Cell Related Parameters

• Haemoglobin (Hb): Shows how well your blood carries oxygen. Low haemoglobin is a common reason for tiredness, weakness, and breathlessness, especially during daily activities.
• Haematocrit (HCT): Measures how much of your blood is made up of red blood cells. Abnormal values may be linked with anemia or dehydration in some cases.
• Red Blood Cell Count (RBC): Indicates the total number of red blood cells present. Too low or too high count can point towards blood-related problems in body.
• Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV): Shows the average size of red blood cells and helps doctors understand the type of anemia a person may have.
• Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH): Measures the amount of haemoglobin in each red blood cell.
• Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC): Indicates how concentrated haemoglobin is inside red blood cells.
• Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW-CV): Shows variation in red blood cell size, often helpful in diagnosing certain blood disorders over period of time.

Platelet Parameters

• Platelet Count: Platelets help in blood clotting. Low count may cause bleeding issues, while high count can increase clotting risk sometimes.
• Mean Platelet Volume (MPV): Gives an idea about the size and activity of platelets in the blood.

White Blood Cell Parameters

• Total Leucocyte Count (TLC): Shows the total number of white blood cells, which usually increase during infections.
• Differential Leucocyte Count: Breaks WBCs into types:

1. Neutrophils: Usually increase during bacterial infections
2. Lymphocytes: Commonly increase in viral infections
3. Eosinophils: Seen in allergies or parasitic infections
4. Monocytes: Increase in long-standing infections
5. Basophils: Related to allergy and inflammation

• Absolute Leucocyte Count: Gives the exact count of each white blood cell type:

1. Absolute neutrophils
2. Absolute lymphocytes
3. Absolute eosinophils
4. Absolute monocytes
5. Absolute basophils

Clear reporting of these parameters is important, which is why Dr. B. Lal Clinical Lab in PHULERA follows strict quality and reporting standards for routine blood tests.

8 Symptoms That May Need a CBC Test

A CBC test is often suggested when symptoms are not very specific but continue for some time, such as:

• Pale skin or dizziness
• Getting breathless easily
• Sudden weight loss without reason

Haemoglobin (Women)	12 – 15 g/dL
RBC Count	4.5 – 5.9 million/µL
Total Leucocyte Count	4,000 – 11,000 cells/µL
Platelet Count	150,000 – 450,000 /µL
