CBC (Complete Blood Count)

A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a common blood test that measures different components of your blood, including red blood cells (which carry oxygen), white blood cells (which fight infections), hemoglobin (the protein that carries oxygen), hematocrit (the proportion of red blood cells in your blood), and platelets (which help blood clot). This test helps doctors assess your overall health, detect disorders like anemia or infections, and monitor ongoing conditions or treatments. It provides a snapshot of your blood's health and can guide further diagnosis or treatment decisions.
