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

Test Preparation
There are no special preparations that have to be done for the CBC test. However, if the CBC test is done to test a specific blood parameter, you might have some food or drink restrictions. The doctor will inform you if you have to fast or not, before the test.
During the CBC Test
After the CBC test has been booked, you will be assigned a phlebotomist who will collect the sample from your home at the time and date of your choosing. Complete hygiene and sanitation is maintained in the process, and the test is done in under 10 minutes. The phlebotomists carry a vein finder device to locate the ideal vein to draw blood from, sterilize the area with ethanol, and use disposable sterilized needles and gloves to draw the blood. The samples are carefully stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, then sent to the lab for analysis.
