A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is one of the most common blood tests used in healthcare. It provides important information about the cells in your blood — red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. The test helps doctors evaluate your overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infection, and blood cancers.

Main Components of CBC
RBCs carry oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues and return carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.
RBC Count: Number of red blood cells.
Hemoglobin (Hb): The oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells.
Hematocrit (Hct): The percentage of blood volume made up of red cells.
Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV): Average size of the red blood cells.
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH): Average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell.
Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW): Variation in size and shape of red blood cells.
Clinical Significance:
White Blood Cells (WBCs)
WBCs are part of the immune system and help fight infection.
WBC Count: Total number of white blood cells.
Differential Count: Measures different types of white blood cells:
Neutrophils
Lymphocytes
Monocytes
Eosinophils
Basophils
Clinical Significance:
Increased WBCs (Leukocytosis): May suggest infection, inflammation, stress, or leukemia.
Decreased WBCs (Leukopenia): May indicate bone marrow suppression, autoimmune disease, or viral infection.
Platelets (Thrombocytes)
Platelets help the blood clot and stop bleeding.
Platelet Count: Number of platelets in the blood.
Mean Platelet Volume (MPV): Average size of platelets.
Clinical Significance:
Low Platelet Count (Thrombocytopenia): May cause easy bruising or bleeding; can be due to bone marrow disorders, infections, or autoimmune diseases.
High Platelet Count (Thrombocytosis): Can increase risk of clotting or signal inflammatory or bone marrow conditions.
Exam Duration
40 Minutes - 60 Minutes
