It is essential to keep a close eye on your health and wellness and schedule a routine health checkup with your primary healthcare provider. It's recommended for people of all ages since it helps to detect and avoid health conditions before they even arise or snowball into severe illnesses. Your doctor can create an adequate treatment plan to fight off any disease or condition at its early stages. 

To do so, your doctor is likely to run some basic tests. One of these tests will include a complete blood count or CBC test. A complete blood count exam will help to screen any possible blood disorders, infections, or conditions that might impact a person's health. So, if there is any abnormal increase or decrease in the blood cell count, the test will decipher that. 

Overall, the test measures and evaluates three primary blood cell categories:

  • Red blood cells: The red blood cells, or RBCs, are responsible for carrying oxygen to the organs and tissues throughout the body. They also measure to sub-component of RBCs, including haemoglobin (the protein which carries oxygen) and hematocrit (the percentage of RBCs present in the blood). If these components are at low levels, it could indicate anaemia, a sign of iron deficiency.
  • White blood cells: The WBCs or white blood cells fight off infections and germs that invade the body. If there is any unusual increase or decrease in the WBCs, it could serve as an indication of cancer, infection, or inflammation. 
  • Platelets: When you meet with an unfortunate accident that causes an open injury and bleeding, your body's first response is to stop that bleeding and create a blood clot. The platelets are responsible for doing so. If there is any change in the levels of platelets, it can leave you at a high risk of excessive bleeding, which could be fatal.
