CBC TEST (Complete blood)
Why is a Complete Blood Test Important?
-
General Health Evaluation : A complete blood test provides information about the number and quality of red blood cells, which transport oxygen throughout the body, as well as white blood cells that are part of the immune system.
-
Anemia Detection : Anemia is a condition where the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin levels in the blood is low. A CBC test can help in diagnosing and managing anemia more effectively.
-
Infection Detection : An abnormal white blood cell count can indicate an infection in the body. This helps doctors to respond quickly and provide appropriate treatment.
-
Heart and Blood Vessel Health Evaluation : Components in a CBC such as platelet count can provide clues about the risk of abnormal blood clots, which can be related to heart and blood vessel problems.
-
Chronic Health Monitoring : For those with chronic health conditions such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases, a complete blood count is helpful in monitoring response to treatment and overall health condition.
What is the Complete Blood Test Process?
The complete blood test process is relatively simple and convenient. After that, a small amount of blood will be taken from your vein with a needle, and the sample will then be analyzed in a laboratory to measure various blood components.
