    What is a CBC Blood test?

    Human body – the most complicated machine we know. What are the main components of the human body? The answer is water and cells. Multiple cells form our different organs, muscles, skin and bones. Some of these cells remain at one place. Others, they move all over our body with the circulating blood. A complete blood count test or CBC test, evaluates the cells that circulate in blood, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets (PLTs).

    Why is a CBC test important?

    Doctors recommend CBC tests to assess a number of health conditions.

    • Review of overall health : Doctors recommend a complete blood count test to monitor your overall health. This test reveals a variety of disorders, such as anemia or blood cancer.
    • Diagnosis of a medical condition : Doctors may suggest a CBC test if a patient is experiencing weakness, fatigue, fever, inflammation, bruising or bleeding. CBC tests help diagnose the cause of these signs and symptoms.
    • Monitoring of a medical condition : If a patient has been diagnosed with a blood disorder that may affect the count of blood cells, doctors may use complete blood counts to monitor the patient’s condition.
    • Monitoring of a medical treatment : A complete blood count may be recommended by doctors in case a patient is taking any medication that may affect the count of blood cells.

    What is included in a CBC?

    A CBC test includes the following:

    • Red blood cells(RBC), the cells carrying oxygen
    • White blood cells(WBC), helps in fighting infection
    • Haemoglobin, the protein which carries oxygen in the RBCs
    • Haematocrit, the proportion of red blood cells to the fluid component, or plasma in the blood
    • Platelets which helps with the clotting of blood

    How to prepare for a CBC blood test?

    It is advised to wear a dress with short-sleeves or a shirt that can be easily rolled up so that blood can be collected without any trouble.

    Typically, a patient can eat and drink normally before a CBC test. However, if the doctor intends the blood sample to be used for additional tests, fasting may be required. A patient will get specific instructions from the doctor in such cases.
