CBC Test In Gurgaon - Price & Details

A Complete Blood Count (CBC) test is a routinely advised blood test. It is also referred to as a complete blood picture, haemogram, or complete blood profile. It provides information about your blood composition and reveals the number and size of your blood cells. The presence of infections, inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, or chronic disorders is reflected in your blood profile, facilitating early detection. It also helps monitor overall health, pre-existing conditions, and ongoing treatment. A small blood sample is required for the CBC test, with no fasting needed.

The CBC test should be considered as part of a routine health check-up. The frequency may vary depending on your age, gender, and health condition. Your doctor may also advise this test under the following circumstances:

• Unexplained symptoms: If you have fatigue, sudden weight loss, nausea or vomiting, high fever, bleeding, pale skin, headaches, or fainting, a CBC test may be needed to evaluate these symptoms.
• Diagnose a condition: A CBC test can help evaluate conditions such as anemia, bacterial or viral infections, leukemia, etc.
• Pre-surgery evaluation: A CBC test is usually done before any surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy to assess general health and blood parameters.
• Monitor health: CBC testing can be performed regularly to monitor overall health, an existing condition, or treatment effectiveness.
• Prenatal testing: The CBC test is commonly recommended during pregnancy to assess the mother's and the baby's overall health.

A complete blood profile is an important health assessment and can help detect various underlying conditions, such as:

• Anaemia - Abnormal levels of certain parameters, such as haemoglobin, can help detect underlying anaemia.
• Infections - Changes in the white blood cell count may sometimes indicate bacterial or viral infections.
• Blood cancer - Significant changes in blood cell counts may help detect certain blood cancers, such as leukaemia or lymphoma.
• Platelet disorders - Abnormal platelet levels impair normal blood clotting and lead to bleeding or clotting disorders.
• Bone marrow disorders - Since the bone marrow forms blood cells, changes in blood cells can indicate bone marrow dysfunction.
• Autoimmune disorders - CBC can support the assessment of conditions such as arthritis, lupus, and vasculitis.

What to Expect Before the Test

• Fasting is usually not required before the test.
• Inform your doctor about any supplements and medicines prior to the test. 
• Consult your healthcare provider for any special instructions to follow before the test.

What to Expect During the Sample Collection

A blood sample is collected using a routine procedure that takes only a few minutes. The steps involve:

• An elastic band is tied around your upper arm to make the veins easier to locate.
• The area is cleaned with an antiseptic.
• A needle is inserted into a vein in the inner arm to collect the blood sample.
• The needle is withdrawn after collecting the sample, and a bandage is placed over the puncture site to help stop any minor bleeding.

What to Expect After the Test

• Blood sample collection is usually safe with minimal to no risks. 
• Feeling dizzy for a few seconds is normal and usually improves with a little rest.
• You can return to daily activities on the same day.

Note: If you notice anything unusual at the puncture site, such as persistent bleeding, a rash, or pain, consult your healthcare provider.

The CBC test provides details about the size and count of blood cells and other related blood parameters, such as:

Red Blood Cell (RBC) Parameters

• RBC count - Number of red blood cells
• Haemoglobin (Hb) - A protein that carries oxygen
• Haematocrit (Hct/PCV) - Percentage of blood made up of RBCs
• MCV (mean corpuscular volume) - Average size of RBCs
• MCH (mean corpuscular haemoglobin) - Amount of haemoglobin per RBC
• MCHC (mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration) - Concentration of haemoglobin in RBCs
• RDW (red cell distribution width) - Variation in RBC size

White Blood Cell (WBC) Parameters

• Total WBC count (TLC) - Total number of white blood cells
• Differential count (DLC) - Types of WBCs:
• Neutrophils
• Lymphocytes
• Monocytes
• Eosinophils
• Basophils

 Platelet Parameters

• Platelet count (PLT) - Number of platelets
• MPV (mean platelet volume) - Average size of platelets
• PDW (platelet distribution width) - Variation in platelet size
• Plateletcrit (PCT) -Volume occupied by platelets in blood
• Platelet to large cell ratio (PLCR) -Percentage of large platelets among total platelets

The CBC test does not diagnose a condition on its own, but changes in blood composition can provide valuable insights into your overall health and help detect underlying health issues.
