    What is a Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test?

    The Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a widely used blood test that assesses the quantities of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets along with other parameters. The CBC test is used to provide an overview of the individual’s health. Several parameters involved in the CBC test aid in diagnosing various health conditions. Additionally, the CBC offers critical information on how medications or diseases affect the body and evaluates the immune system's health.

    Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test Parameters

    The CBC test in Hyderabad evaluates a range of parameters related to blood health. These parameters include:

    Red Blood Cells (RBCs)

    RBCs are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the entire body. Each RBC contains haemoglobin, an iron-rich protein that assists in oxygen transport. The RBC count is typically measured in microliters (mcL) of blood.

    Haemoglobin (Hb)

    This measures the haemoglobin levels in your bloodstream, which are crucial for oxygen transport.

    Haematocrit (Hct)

    This parameter represents the proportion of blood volume that is made up of RBCs.

    RBC Indices

    These indices assess the size, shape, and quality of RBCs and include:

    Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)

    This parameter measures the variability in RBC size.

    Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)

    MCV measures the average size of RBCs.

    Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)

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

    Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH)

    Indicates the average amount of haemoglobin within individual RBCs.

    White Blood Cells (WBCs)

    WBCs are also known as leukocytes. They are involved in fighting infections and play a key role in the immune system. The CBC test determines the total number of WBCs, including a differential count that categorizes each type of WBC and immature RBCs.

    Platelet Count

    This measures the total number of platelets in your blood sample, which are crucial for blood clotting.

    Understanding these parameters is crucial for gaining insights into your health and managing it effectively. In Hyderabad, you can conveniently get a CBC test at home through Orange Health Labs, ensuring you receive your test reports on time.

    Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test Preparation

    Keep the following points in mind before the CBC test:

    • Prerequisites : No specific preparations are needed for the CBC test home collection. Blood will be drawn directly for the test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested : Discuss with your doctor to identify the best time for the test, particularly if it’s part of a broader set of tests.

    • Who Should Get the CBC Test : The test is suitable for all individuals. Your doctor might recommend any signs of illness are spotted or even as a part of a routine medical checkup.

    • Cautions Before Taking the CBC Test : No special precautions are to be taken before taking the CBC test. Testing is safe and convenient.

    By adhering to these points, you can ensure accurate and reliable results from your Haemogram blood test, whether conducted at home or in a lab.

    Why Should I Do the Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test?

    A CBC test may be advised for several reasons. Here is an explanation of why CBC testing is necessary:

    • Routine Health Check-ups: Frequently part of routine health evaluations, a CBC test provides a baseline and helps monitor your overall health.

    • Monitoring and Diagnosing Conditions: A CBC test home collection sample is vital for detecting and managing common health issues such as anaemia, infections, bleeding disorders, and some cancers. For chronic conditions like CKD or cancer, it helps track progression and treatment effectiveness.

    • Evaluation of Unexplained Symptoms: If you are experiencing unexplained fatigue, weakness, unusual bruising, frequent infections, or bleeding, a CBC test can help identify potential health concerns.

    • Pre-treatment Evaluation: Before undergoing medical procedures like surgery or chemotherapy, a CBC test might be conducted to evaluate your health and confirm your suitability for these treatments.

    Evaluation of the blood components via CBC test in Hyderabad is essential for diagnosing and managing various health conditions.

    Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test Results & Interpretation

    Your doctor can make precise interpretations of CBC test results by examining your blood component levels. Presented are the standard ranges for each parameter in the CBC test:

    Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)fL7-13

    It's important to recognize that health conditions can influence blood counts, resulting in abnormal CBC levels that may indicate:

    • High platelet counts may be observed in infections, immune system disorders, or recovery from anaemia.

    • Low platelet counts are observed in viral infections, immune issues, certain cancers, haemolytic uremic syndrome, or thrombocytopenia.

    • High RBC counts, could indicate dehydration, polycythaemia vera, heart and lung conditions, or sleep apnoea.

    • Low RBC counts (anaemia) may be possibly due to nutritional deficiencies (such as B12 or iron deficiency), blood loss, kidney issues, or bone marrow and blood disorders.

    • High WBC counts can be a sign of infections, allergies, autoimmune disorders, lymphoma, or leukaemia.

    • Low WBC counts, can result from infections, medications, autoimmune diseases, or bone marrow disorders.

    Arrange for a CBC test at home in Hyderabad with Orange Health Labs for accurate testing and timely delivery of results. Should your CBC test reveal unexpected results, consulting with a doctor in Hyderabad is crucial for accurate guidance.
