A complete blood count (CBC) is an analysis that helps evaluate overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including infections, anemia, and blood cancers. It is also used to monitor the effects of certain medications and treatments on blood cell counts.A CBC includes:
- Hemoglobin and Red blood Cells: Measures the amount of oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells, essential for assessing anemia.
- White Blood Cells: Measures the total count of white blood cells, which are crucial for immune function and fighting infections. It also shows the percentage of different types of white blood cells.
It's used to assess overall health, detect infections, diagnose anemia, monitor immune system disorders, and track the effects of medications and treatments on blood health.
High or low levels of white blood cells may indicate inflammation, infection, or immune system disorders among other conditions.
Hemoglobin measures the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells. Red blood cells are essential for assessing conditions related to oxygen in the blood, such as anemia.
We recommend conducting the following tests: 1. C-Reactive Protein (CRP): To assess and monitor systemic infections. 2. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): To evaluate the degree of inflammation in the body. Elevations in these tests may indicate the presence of inflammation in the body, but they do not pinpoint the exact location or cause of inflammation. Increased levels can be due to conditions such as arthritis, respiratory infections, or rheumatic diseases.
We recommend conducting the following tests: 1. Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid Test: Because they can cause anemia. 2. Iron Level and Ferritin Test : Iron deficiency can lead to anemia resulting from low hemoglobin levels.
