The CBC is used as a broad screening test
A Complete Blood Count or CBC is a great
test. It gives you a “snapshot” of your health.
This test gives important information about the kind and the number of cells in your blood. Physicians use this information to evaluate symptoms, help diagnose conditions and treat certain illnesses (like infections).
A complete blood count (CBC) test can give you a clearer picture of your overall heath. It’s a way to detect blood disorders such as leukemia, anemia, blood clotting problems as well as many other problems.
These health issues can be detected by measuring the following:
• White blood cell count - White Blood Cells are body's primary defense against disease. White blood cells help fight injection.
• White blood cell differential
• Red blood cell count - Red Blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide to all cells. Iron deficiency will lower RBC.
• Red blood cell density
• Hemoglobin levels - A chemical compound inside red cells that transports oxygen through the blood stream to all cell of the body. Oxygen is needed for healthy organs. Hemoglobin gives the red color to blood.
• Blood platelet count - Blood cell particles involved with the forming blood clots.
Knowing your Complete Blood Count can provide you and your doctor with vital health information.
• Feel fatigued
• Think you have an infection
• Experience difficulty in recovering from infection/injury
• Experience excessive bleeding or blood clot formation
Having a CBC test is also a good idea if you have a personal or family history of inflammation, bruising, blood disorders or leukemia.
