A CBC or complete blood count is a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation of your blood to assess your overall state of health. It can also help detect various disorders, such as leukaemia, infection, and anaemia.
A CBC lab test in Chennai looks for several features and components present in an individual’s blood, including:
- Platelets - Aid in blood clotting at the site of an injury or a wound
- Hematocrit or plasma - Ratio of red blood cells (RBCs) to the blood fluid component
- Hemoglobin - A protein that carries oxygen in RBCs or red blood cells
- White blood cells - These cells fight against infections
- Red blood cells - These cells help move oxygen around the body
If there is any abnormal or unusual change in the cell counts of any of these components, it may serve as an indication of some underlying medical condition. It may require further medical assistance and attention from the healthcare provider.
Apollo 24|7 provides a convenient at-home CBC test done by a professional executive at your preferred time slot. You can book one of the best CBC lab tests in Chennai from Apollo 24|7. The test is:
- Conducted as part of overall routine medical check-up
- Used to screen for blood disorders such as leukaemia or anaemia
- Recommended to help determine the underlying cause of symptoms such as weakness, fever, fatigue, inflammation, bleeding, and bruising
- Used to monitor the progression of any previously diagnosed blood disorder or condition
- prescribed to check whether the ongoing medication is effective in treating or managing a patient’s health or not
Remember that a complete blood count test is not usually a definitive diagnostic exam. Considering why your doctor orders the CBC test, the results (whether the range of some components is high or low) may or may not prompt a follow-up. Your medical provider may ask you to undergo certain specific tests along with CBC to get a clearer picture of your health.
For example, suppose you do not have any apparent symptoms or signs of any illness. In such a scenario, if your CBC test results are slightly beyond the normal range, then it is unlikely to evoke immediate concern from your doctor. On the other hand, if you are suffering from a disease like leukaemia, a test result outside your normal range may indicate a need to change the treatment plan.
Depending on the results, your primary healthcare service provider may refer you to a haematologist, (blood disorder specialist). Therefore, make sure you get your complete blood count test done every once in a while. It would help keep an eye on your health and quickly identify the beginning of an underlying disease if it were to happen!
