CBC lab test | Revival Clinic

Complete Blood Count

CBC is a basic yet essential blood test that gives a snapshot of your overall health. It measures red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets to detect conditions such as anemia, infections, inflammation, immune disorders, and blood cancers.

Who should get a CBC test?

✅ Anyone with symptoms like fatigue, weakness, fever, bruising, or inflammation

✅ People undergoing routine health check-ups

✅ Patients with chronic conditions or before surgery

✅ To monitor treatment response (e.g., chemotherapy, iron therapy)

WBC count

White Blood cells count : Measures your immune cell count in the blood

⬆ High: May indicate infection, inflammation, or blood cancer

⬇ Low: May suggest viral infection, bone marrow issue, or autoimmune suppression

RBC

Red Blood Cells Count : Shows how many oxygen-carrying cells you have

⬆ High: May suggRBCest dehydration or rare conditions like polycythemia

⬇ Low: May indicate anemia, bleeding, or nutritional deficiency

Hb

Hemoglobin : Measures the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells
⬆ High: Similar to high RBC, may occur with smoking or heart disease
⬇ Low: Common sign of anemia or blood loss

Hct.

Hematocrit : Tells you the percentage of your blood that is made up of red cells
⬆ High: May indicate dehydration or thickened blood
⬇ Low: Often found in anemia or after bleeding

MCV

Mean Cell Volume : Measures the average size of your red blood cells
⬆ High: Seen in vitamin B12 or folate deficiency
⬇ Low: Often caused by iron deficiency or thalassemia

MCH

Mean Cell Hemoglobin : Indicates the average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell
⬆ High: Seen in vitamin B12 or folate deficiency
⬇ Low: Often caused by iron deficiency or thalassemia

MCHC

Mean Cell Hemoglobin Concentration : Measures how concentrated hemoglobin is in each red blood cell
⬆ High: Could point to hereditary spherocytosis
⬇ Low: Typical of iron deficiency anemia

RDW-CV

Red Cell Distribution Width : Reflects the variation in size among red blood cells
⬆ High: Suggests mixed types of anemia or early deficiency stages

Platelet Count

Measures the number of platelets that help with blood clotting
⬆ High: May be due to infection, inflammation, or spleen removal
⬇ Low: May suggest bone marrow suppression or autoimmune disease

Neutrophils

1-line defenders against bacteria
⬆ High: Bacterial infection, stress
⬇ Low: Viral infection, bone marrow problem

Lymphocytes

Key for viral immunity and memory response
⬆ High: Viral infection or lymphoma
⬇ Low: Immunodeficiency or steroid use

Monocytes

Help clear damaged cells and chronic infection
⬆ High: May indicate long-standing inflammation or recovery from illness

Eosinophils

Involved in allergy and parasite defense

⬆ High: Allergic conditions or parasitic infections

Basophils

Participate in allergic reactions and inflammation

⬆ High: May be seen in chronic inflammation or rare blood cancers
