CBC Testing
A complete blood count (CBC) gives important information about
the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood, especially red blood cells, white blood
cells, and platelets. A CBC blood test helps your health professional check any symptoms such
as weakness, fatigue, or bruising you may have. A CBC also helps him or her diagnose
conditions such as anemia, infection, and many other disorders. Please ask one of our STD Specialist for more details about the CBC Test.
A CBC test usually includes:
- White blood cell (WBC, leukocyte) count
- White blood cell types (WBC differential)
- Red blood cell (RBC) count
- Hematocrit (HCT, packed cell volume, PCV)
- Hemoglobin (Hgb)
- Red blood cell indices
- Platelet (thrombocyte) count
