CBC (Complete Blood Count) (NHC)

The CBC (Complete Blood Count) (NHC) test is one of the most commonly performed blood tests used to evaluate your overall health and detect a wide range of medical conditions. It measures the different components of blood, including Red Blood Cells (RBCs), White Blood Cells (WBCs), Hemoglobin (Hb), Hematocrit (HCT), Platelets, and Red Cell Indices. These measurements provide valuable information about the body’s ability to carry oxygen, fight infections, and maintain normal blood clotting.

The Complete Blood Count (CBC) test is recommended as part of routine health check-ups and for individuals experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, fever, frequent infections, unexplained bruising or bleeding, dizziness, or pale skin. It is widely used to help diagnose and monitor conditions such as anemia, bacterial and viral infections, leukemias, clotting disorders, inflammatory diseases, and many other medical conditions. The CBC is also useful for monitoring ongoing treatments, evaluating general health before surgery, and assessing the body’s response to illness. Since abnormal blood counts can have many different causes, CBC results should always be interpreted together with the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and additional laboratory investigations to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
