    What is a Complete Blood Count (CBC) with ESR Test?

    The Complete Blood Count (CBC) paired with the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test provides a thorough assessment of blood parameters. The CBC evaluates the number, size, and maturity of different blood cells in a specified volume, making it essential for diagnosing and monitoring a variety of health concerns.

    Blood is drawn and analysed to determine the counts and characteristics of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. It also measures haemoglobin levels and other crucial factors.

    The ESR portion of the test evaluates how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube within an hour. Increased settling rates can indicate inflammation, as red blood cells tend to clump together more quickly in such conditions.

    These tests together help detect inflammatory diseases, autoimmune conditions, anaemia, infections, and certain cancers, providing a comprehensive view of a patient's blood and inflammatory status. This combined testing approach enhances the ability to diagnose and monitor both acute and chronic health issues.

    Complete Blood Count (CBC) with ESR Test Parameters

    The CBC ESR test involves several key parameters that provide a thorough analysis of blood health and potential inflammatory states. Here is a detailed breakdown of each parameter:

    Total White Blood Cell Count (TC)

    Assesses the total number of white blood cells, which are essential for immune function.

    Differential and Absolute Counts

    Measures the distribution and exact counts of the five types of white blood cells: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, and eosinophils.

    Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)

    The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes, providing insights into immune response and inflammation.

    Red Blood Cells (RBC) Count

    Counts the number of red blood cells, which transport oxygen throughout the body.

    Mentzer Index

    A ratio used to distinguish between thalassemia and iron deficiency anaemia.

    Sehgal Index

    Another index used to differentiate types of anaemia.

    Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)

    Calculates the average size of red blood cells.

    Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH)

    Measures the average amount of haemoglobin in a single red blood cell.

    Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)

    Indicates the quantity of haemoglobin within a given volume of red blood cells.

    Haemoglobin (Hb)

    Measures the amount of haemoglobin, indicating the blood's capacity to carry oxygen.

    Haematocrit (HCT) / Packed Cell Volume (PCV)

    Reflects the percentage of blood volume composed of red blood cells.

    Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) CV

    Shows the variation in the size of red blood cells.

    Platelet Count

    This parameter shows the number of platelets which are helpful in blood clotting.

    Platelet Haematocrit (Plateletcrit)

    This parameter shows the percentage of blood volume made up of platelets.

    Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)

    This parameter shows average platelet size.

    Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

    Measures how quickly red blood cells can settle when placed in a test tube. It can indicate inflammation.

    Complete Blood Count (CBC) with ESR Test Preparation

    Prerequisites

    CBC ESR test does not require any special preparations such as fasting.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    The blood test CBC ESR can be taken at any time during the day.

    Eligibility for CBC with ESR Test

    The Blood Count with an ESR test is suitable for people of all ages needing a detailed health check. It is particularly advised for those showing symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, unexplained bruising, or signs of infection. This test is also useful for monitoring existing health conditions, checking the effectiveness of treatments, and during routine medical examinations.

    Cautions before taking CBC with ESR Test

    Why Take a Complete Blood Count (CBC) with ESR Test?

    A CBC ESR profile test may be required for several reasons which are mentioned as follows:

    • Routine Examination: A CBC with an ESR test is commonly included in routine health exams to provide a comprehensive view of your health.

    • Investigating Symptoms: If you are experiencing symptoms like fever, unexpected weight loss, joint stiffness, night sweats, bruising, bleeding, or fatigue, this test can help uncover potential health issues.

    • Diagnosing Inflammatory Disorders: The ESR component is essential for diagnosing various inflammatory conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, infections, certain cancers, inflammatory arthritis, and blood disorders.

    • Monitoring Existing Conditions: For those with chronic illnesses like cancer or CKD, this test helps monitor blood parameters to evaluate disease progression and treatment effectiveness.

    • Treatment Impact Assessment: Treatments such as chemotherapy can impact blood cell counts and immune function. A CBC with an ESR test assists in evaluating these effects and guiding therapy adjustments.

    • Pregnancy Health Monitoring: Pregnant individuals may undergo CBC with ESR testing to track their health and the well-being of their developing baby.
