WHAT IS A COMPLETE BLOOD
COUNT?
• A complete blood count (CBC) is a test that
measures the cells that make up your blood:
red blood cells, white blood cells, and
platelets. You might get a CBC as part of your
yearly check-up. Your doctor might also
order it to.
 SIGN AND SYMPTOMS •
Check for anemia ,Leucocytosis , leukemia
• weakness, fever, bruising, or feeling tired
• Keep an eye on a blood condition you
already have.
• See how medications or treatments like
chemotherapy are affecting your blood.
HOW IS A CBC DONE?
 It’s pretty simple and takes just a few
minutes. A nurse or lab tech /Phlebotomist
will take a sample of blood by inserting a
needle into a vein in your arm. She’ll send it
to the lab for review. You can leave and get
right back to your normal routine.
WHITE BLOOD CELLS (WBCS).
 These help to fight infections. If you have
high WBC levels, it tells your doctor you have
inflammation or infection somewhere in your
body. If it’s low, you could be at risk for
infection. The normal range is 4,500 to
10,000 cells per microliter (cells/mcL).
RBC (RED BLOOD CELL COUNT).
 This is the number of red blood cells you
have. These are important because they carry
oxygen through your body. They also help
filter carbon dioxide. If your RBC count is too
low, you may have anemia or another
condition. (If you have anemia, your blood
has fewer red blood cells than normal.) The
normal range for men is 5 million to 6 million
cells/mcL; for women it’s 4 million to 5
million cells/mcL
Hemoglobin(Hb or Hbg ).
This is the protein in your blood that holds
the oxygen. The normal range for men is 14
to 17 grams per deciliter (gm/dL); for women
it’s 12 to 15 gm/dL.
 Hematocrit (Hct ). How much of your blood is

red blood cells. A high score could mean


you’re dehydrated or have another condition.
The normal range for men is between 41%
and 50%. For women the range is between
36% and 44%
MCV
 MCV Mean corpuscular volume.
 count= 80-100fL

• Small = microcytic
• normal = normocytic
• Large = macrocytic
MCH
MCH The amount of hemoglobin per RBC.
normal range 27-32 pg.

 MCHC Mean corpuscular hemoglobin


concentration. Normal range 26-34%
Decreased :Hypochromic Normal
:Normochromic
PLATELETS.
• These play a role in clotting. This test
measures the number of platelets in your
blood. The normal range is 150,000 to
450,000 cells/mcL
• MPV (mean platelet volume). The size of the
platelets in your blood.
• A typical range of platelet volumes is 9.4–
12.3 fl (femtolitre).
• PDW (platelet distribution width). How much
your platelets vary in size
RDW (RED CELL DISTRIBUTION
WIDTH).
• How your much your red blood cells vary in
size.
• Red blood cell distribution width (RDW or
RDW-CV or RCDW and RDW-SD) is a measure of
the range of variation of red blood cell (RBC)
volume that is reported as part of a standard
complete blood count. Usually red blood cells
are a standard size of about 6-8 μm in
diameter.
• Higher RDW values indicate greater variation in
size
HIGH RDW
• Iron-deficiency anemia usually presents with
high RDW and low MCV.
• Folate- and vitamin B12-deficiency anemia
usually present with high RDW and high MCV.
• Mixed-deficiency (iron + B12 or folate)
anemia usually presents with high RDW and
variable MCV.
 This important value is needed in the
evaluation of any anemia.
• Normal range 1-2%
• Retic count goes up with – Hemolytic anemia
• Retic goes down with – Nutritional
deficiencies _ Diseases of the bone marrow
itself.
