Complete Haemogram

The Complete Hemogram, often referred to as Complete Blood Count (CBC), is a routine laboratory test used to evaluate the cellular components of the blood. This comprehensive test provides valuable information about red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets, as well as additional parameters such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). Each component of the complete hemogram serves a specific function in the body and can provide insights into different aspects of health and disease. For example, RBCs are responsible for oxygen transport, and abnormalities in RBC parameters can indicate conditions such as anemia or polycythemia. WBCs are essential for immune function, and alterations in WBC counts or differentials may suggest infections, inflammatory disorders, or bone marrow dysfunction. Platelets play a crucial role in blood clotting, and abnormalities in platelet count or function may be associated with bleeding disorders or thrombocytopenia.
