CBC (Complete Blood Count)

A complete blood count (CBC) is a complete blood test that diagnose many components and features of a person’s blood which includes:

• Red Blood Cells (RBC), which carry oxygen

• White Blood Cells (WBC), which help in fighting against infections

• Hemoglobin, which is the oxygen carrying protein in the red blood cells

• Hematocrit, the proportion of RBC to the fluid component, or plasma present in blood

• Platelets, which aid in blood clotting

It is noteworthy that an increase or decrease in the CBC Test normal range may indicate an underlying medical condition that may need further medical evaluation.
