Overview
Additional tests will be prescribed if the CBC results are abnormal, as the CBC is not a definitive test. In some cases, healthy people might have results that are outside the normal range, but this is not a cause for concern. But if people who have cancer and are undergoing treatment have abnormal test results, it is indicative of some issue, and the treatment might have to change.
A comprehensive test, the CBC test with PharmEasy Labs measures the levels of these cells:
- RBCs or red blood cells
- Haemoglobin
- Haematocrit
- Reticulocyte
- MCV or mean corpuscular volume
- MCHC or mean corpuscular haemoglobin
- RDW or red cell distribution
- WBC or white blood cell
- WBC differential, which tests the levels of different WBCs like:
- Eosinophils
- Neutrophils
- Basophils
- Lymphocytes
- Monocytes
- Platelet count
- MPV or mean platelet value
- PDW or platelet distribution width
The CBC test in Chennai can be done with any service provider, but PharmEasy Labs offers convenience and many benefits. The test will be done from the comfort of your home by using the in-house sample collection facility, and you do not have to travel to a diagnostic centre and waste precious time and energy.
