Complete Blood Count (CBC)

A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is one of the most common and essential blood tests performed in medical diagnostics. It provides valuable insights into a person's overall health by measuring various components of blood, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. Each of these components plays a vital role—RBCs carry oxygen, WBCs fight infection, hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein in red cells, hematocrit measures the proportion of red cells in blood, and platelets help with clotting.

Doctors often order a CBC to screen for conditions like anemia, infections, clotting disorders, and even certain cancers. It can also monitor the effectiveness of treatments for these conditions or detect changes in a patient's health before symptoms appear. A CBC test is simple, quick, and requires only a small sample of blood, usually drawn from a vein in the arm.
