A complete blood count or CBC is a general medical examination often considered part of a routine check-up. It helps healthcare professionals detect a range of medical conditions and disorders. Doctors also use the test to screen for the side effects of medication. Ultimately, a complete blood count in Faridabad is carried out for many reasons:

  • To check the overall health and look for specific conditions such as anaemia 
  • To diagnose a medical condition because of weakness, fever, or fatigue
  • To find the specific cause of swelling, bleeding, and pain in the body
  • To monitor health condition which can affect the blood cell count 
  • To keep an eye on medical treatments that might cause changes to blood cell counts

During the CBC test, a sample of the blood is taken and sent to the lab, where a series of tests are performed to measure the different parts of the blood cells, including:

  • Red blood cells 
  • White blood cells
  • Platelets 
  • Haemoglobin 
  • Haematocrit

A complete blood count in Faridabad informs healthcare professionals of the unusual decrease or increase in cell counts. The medical report of CBC has two columns - one called the referred range and the other results. If the results are inside the range, everything is considered well. However, if the results are higher or lower than the range, they're pointing towards a medical issue.

More specifically, unusual levels of RBCs, haematocrit, and haemoglobin might point towards anaemia, heart problem or iron deficiency in the body. While low WBCs might suggest autoimmune or cancer, elevated WBCs are clear indications of infection or allergic reaction to a specific medicine.

A point to note is that if the test result is abnormal, it does not imply a health disorder. Other factors such as eating habits, lifestyle, menstruation, activity level, and hydration level are a couple of things that might influence the test results.

Moreover, a complete blood count cannot be considered a definitive diagnostic test. Blood cell counts that are not within the normal range point towards a range of medical disorders. As such, the doctor might recommend further tests to determine the specific medical condition and start the necessary treatment.
