CBC Test in Nagpur - Price & Details

A Complete Blood Count (CBC), also known as a complete blood picture, haemogram, or complete blood profile, is a commonly recommended blood test. It provides a detailed breakdown of your blood components, such as haemoglobin [Hb], haematocrit [Hct], red blood cells [RBCs], white blood cells [WBCs], and platelets. A complete blood profile can provide important information about your health and help detect a wide range of conditions, including anaemia, infections, cancer, and blood disorders. It is often part of routine and diagnostic health assessments.

The CBC test serves as an important health assessment for different age groups and special health needs. Depending on the purpose, the CBC test may be indicated in the following situations:

• Detecting underlying health issues: Symptoms such as fatigue, sudden weight loss, nausea or vomiting, high fever, bleeding, pale skin, headaches, night sweats, or fainting may be associated with infections or anaemia. A CBC test can also help evaluate these symptoms.
• Diagnosing illnesses: A CBC test can help diagnose chronic conditions such as blood cancers, infections, or autoimmune disorders.
• Pre-surgery evaluation: Before surgery or cancer therapy, a CBC test is essential to assess your overall health status.
• Monitoring routine health conditions: CBC testing can be performed regularly to monitor chronic illnesses or to evaluate treatment effectiveness.
• Prenatal testing: The CBC test is commonly done during pregnancy to assess the mother’s overall health.

The CBC test provides valuable insights into your health and can help detect various conditions with an expert’s guidance.

• 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: Abnormally high or low platelet levels may affect normal blood clotting and can lead to bleeding or clotting disorders.
• Bone marrow disorders: Since the bone marrow forms blood cells, changes in the blood cells may indicate bone marrow dysfunction.
• Autoimmune disorders: CBC can support the assessment of autoimmune conditions such as arthritis, lupus, and vasculitis.

What to Expect Before the Test

• No fasting is required before the test unless it is being performed along with other blood tests that require fasting.
• Inform your doctor about any supplements and medicines before 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 required for the CBC test. Here is what you can expect during sample collection:

• An elastic band is tied around your upper arm for better access to your veins.
• A needle is inserted into a vein in the inner arm to collect the blood sample.
• A bandage is placed over the puncture site to help stop minor bleeding.

What to Expect After the Test

• Blood sample collection is usually safe with minimal to no risk.
• You may experience mild discomfort, slight bruising, or tenderness at the puncture site, which usually resolves on its own within a few days.
• Feeling dizzy for a few seconds is normal and usually improves with a little rest.

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 measures the number of blood cells and various related 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 total blood volume 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 in the blood.
• 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
