What does a CBC do?
A CBC (Complete Blood Count) measures a variety of items in your blood. It can be used to determine general health status and to to diagnose and manage various diseases.  If you have symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, an infection, inflammation, bruising or bleeding this test can help diagnose the cause.

How is the test performed?

Blood is drawn at the lab test facility.
 

Hematocrit
Hematocrit measures the amount of space red blood cells take up in the blood. It is reported as a percentage. For example, if your hematocrit is 38%, then 38% of the bloods volume is made of red blood cells.   Low percentages can indicate malnutrition and certain blood disorders.
 

Hemoglobin
Hemoglobin is a chemical compound inside red cells that transports oxygen through the blood stream to all cells of the body. Oxygen is needed for healthy organs. Hemoglobin gives blood its red color.   Low hemoglobin levels can cause fatigue, fainting and shortness of breath.
 

Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)
Corpuscular volume measures red blood cell volume and shows the size of the red blood cells. An abnormal MCV is indicative of certain types of anemia related to iron deficiency or certain vitamin deficiencies.
 

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)
The MCH value is the amount of hemoglobin in an average red blood cell.
 

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
MCHC measures the concentration of hemoglobin in an average red blood cell.
 

Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a calculation of the variation in the size of your RBCs. In some anemias, such as pernicious anemia, the amount of variation (anisocytosis) in RBC size (along with variation in shape – poikilocytosis) causes an increase in the RDW.
 

Percentage and Absolute Differential Counts
Percentage and Differential Counts look at the different types of white blood cells, including Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils.  The Percentage tells us what percent of the total White Blood Count is made up of each cell.  The Absolute is the exact number of each type of cell seen under a microscope.
 

Platelet Count
Platelet Count measures the blood cell particles involved with the forming of blood clots. Abnormal platelet count can indicate problems with the ability to stop bleeding.
 

Red Cell Count
Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide to all cells. An iron deficiency will lower RBC.
 

White Blood Cell Count (WBC)
White blood cells are the body's primary defense against disease. White blood cells help fight infection. Abnormal WBC can indicate infection, blood disorders such as leukemia, or problems with the bodies’ immune system.

What are normal results for this test?

cells/mcL = cells per microliter
