Overview
A Complete Blood Count measures key components of your blood — red blood cells, white blood cells, haemoglobin, haematocrit, and platelets. It is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests and provides a broad picture of your overall health.
Why Is This Done?
A CBC helps detect a wide range of conditions including anaemia, infections, clotting disorders, and blood cancers. It is also used to monitor existing conditions and the effects of medications.
Who Needs This Test?
Anyone experiencing unexplained fatigue, fever, bruising, or weakness may be asked to take a CBC. It is also a routine part of annual health check-ups and pre-surgical evaluations.
How to Prepare
No special preparation is required. Fasting is not necessary unless the CBC is being done alongside other tests that require it.
Duration
The blood draw takes 2–3 minutes.
