How our test process works!
A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a common blood test that provides important information about the cells in your blood. It measures the number and characteristics of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
CBC can help healthcare profesionals understand your general health and look for signs of conditions such as anaemia, infection, inflammation and certain blood disorders.
A CBC maybe useful in evaluating or monitoring: Anaemia, Iron deficiency anaemia, Infections, Bleding or platelet disorders, Bone marrow disorders, Leukemia and other blood cancers, Polycythemia and other red blood cell disorders.
Normal Ranges (May vary slightly between labs)
| Component | Normal Range |
| RBC Count | Men: 4.7–6.1 million/µL |
| Hemoglobin (Hb) | Men: 13.8–17.2 g/dL |
| Hematocrit (Hct) | Men: 41–50% |
| WBC Count | 4,000–11,000/µL |
| Platelets | 150,000–450,000/µL |
| MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) | 80–100 fL |
| MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin) | 27–31 pg |
| MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration) | 32–36% |
| RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width) | 11–14.5% |
Abnormalities in red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets can indicate various conditions:
- High red blood cell counts may suggest dehydration or increased production, while low counts can point to anemia, blood loss or deficiency.
- Elevated white blood cells may signal infection or inflammation and low counts can be due to infections, medications or bone marrow issues.
- High platelets might indicate inflammation or iron deficiency, whereas low platelets increase bleeding risk and can be linked to infections or immune conditions.
