A quick info on CBC Test
Overview
A Complete Blood Count (CBC) test, also known as a complete blood picture, haemogram, or complete blood profile, is a commonly advised blood test. It checks the count of blood cells and levels of other related parameters. Variations in blood parameters can be associated with conditions such as infections, nutritional deficiencies, certain cancers, and clotting disorders. The CBC test helps evaluate underlying conditions and monitor overall health, and is suitable for all age groups. A blood sample is required for the test, and no special preparation is needed beforehand.
When and Who Should Get a CBC Test Done?
The CBC test can be performed as part of a regular health checkup to assess general health, or it can be ordered by your doctor under the following situations:
- Investigate symptoms: Symptoms such as fatigue, sudden weight loss, nausea or vomiting, high fever, bleeding, pale skin, headaches, or fainting may indicate infections or anaemia. A CBC test can help evaluate these symptoms.
- Diagnose illnesses: A CBC test can help diagnose various acute or chronic illnesses, along with clinical correlation or other tests.
- Pre-surgery evaluation: Before any surgery or therapy, a CBC test is essential to assess overall health status.
- Monitor health: TheCBC test is often used to assess overall health, monitor pre-existing conditions, or evaluate ongoing treatment.
- Prenatal testing: The CBC test is commonly advised during pregnancy to assess the mother's and baby’s overall health.
What Conditions Can a CBC Test Help Detect?
Alterations in the complete blood profile can be associated with various health 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.

CBC Test Preparation
What to Expect Before the Test
- Fasting is usually not required before the test.
- Inform your doctor about any supplements and medicines beforehand.
- 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 for better access to your veins.
- The site is cleaned with an antiseptic, and a needle is inserted into a vein in the inner arm to collect the blood sample.
- The needle is withdrawn, 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.
What Are the Parameters Included in the CBC Test?
The CBC test provides details about the size and count of blood cells and other related blood parameters, such as:
