Complete Blood Count (CBC) in East Delhi

Around 67% of young kids in India are born with one of the most common blood disorders, anaemia. The incidence of the condition is consistently rising across India with each passing year. Anemia causes a person to lose a significant volume of healthy red blood cells. It can either happen temporarily or permanently and may be mild or severe. 

In most cases of anaemia, there is not only a specific cause that triggers this medical condition. Moreover, the condition has many different types – aplastic anaemia, sickle cell anaemia, vitamin deficiency anaemia, iron deficiency anaemia, and thalassemia. 

The symptoms for each variation of anaemia may differ, but overall, you may still notice some of the obvious signs:

• Weakness
• Fatigue
• Irregular or abnormal heartbeats
• Yellowish or pale skin
• Lightheadedness or dizziness
• Breathlessness
• Cold limbs
• Chest pain
• Headaches 

You may struggle to notice these symptoms initially. The inability to recognise the symptoms early on can be attributed to the mild intensity of the condition. However, your condition could worsen by the time you notice the symptoms.

So, if you observe any signs and symptoms indicative of anaemia or other blood disorder, your healthcare provider may order a complete blood count. The diagnostic test is commonly recommended to screen blood disorders, including anaemia, that may impact your health. The test measures the levels of different types of blood cells and records if there is any abnormal elevation or decline in the numbers. If the test results seem abnormal, it could prompt the doctor to recommended further specific tests to diagnose the underlying medical condition. 

The CBC test primarily measures and evaluates the following blood cell components to assess the overall health of the patient:

• Red blood cells: These cells are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body and eliminating carbon dioxide. There are two more features in the RBCs, which are also tested in CBC. These include haemoglobin (a protein that carries oxygen) and hematocrit (the volume of RBCs in your blood). If either of these two components is lower than the normal range, it could point towards anaemia, a blood disorder where a person suffers from iron deficiency. 
• White blood cells: The white blood cells come to the body's aid when fighting off infection. The test checks the type and number of white blood cells in a person's body. If there is any unusual increase or decrease in the white blood count, it could indicate inflammation, infection, or cancer.
• Platelets: Platelets are responsible for bleeding control and blood clotting. If you get a cut or some injury during an accident, your platelets will come together to clot the blood at the wound site to stop the bleeding. Any abnormality in the platelet count can leave you at risk of bleeding excessively, a severe medical condition.
