What Each Component Detects
Red blood cells and haemoglobin: Low haemoglobin indicates anaemia — the most common nutritional deficiency in India, affecting 53% of women. The type of anaemia (iron deficiency, B12 deficiency, thalassemia trait) is identified by the size and colour of red cells. White blood cells: Elevated total count suggests bacterial infection; elevated specific subtypes indicate viral infection, parasites, or allergic response; very high white cell counts can signal leukaemia. Platelets: Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) occurs in dengue, certain viral infections, and autoimmune conditions. High counts can indicate inflammation or, rarely, a bone marrow disorder.Who Needs a CBC
Anyone feeling persistently tired (checking for anaemia), before starting a new medication, as part of any comprehensive health checkup, and for anyone with signs of infection, bruising, or unexplained bleeding. No fasting required.Parameters included
