Complete Blood Count (CBC)
The complete blood count is one of the most common panels. It evaluates your blood cells - red cells, white cells and platelets - and helps flag anemia, infection, inflammation and other conditions.
Also known as: CBC · FBC · Full Blood Count · Blood Count
Preparation: No special preparation is usually needed.
A CBC measures the number and characteristics of your blood cells. Doctors order it at a general check-up, for fatigue, infection, or before procedures.
A single out-of-range value rarely means much on its own - the whole picture and the trend matter. Below are the markers in this panel; tap any to read about it.
