• The amount of whole blood that is made up of red blood cells (hematocrit).
• The average size of your red blood cells: Mean corpuscular volume (MCV).

What is it used for?

A complete blood count should be a part of your routine checkup. It is also used to monitor a treatment or condition that may affect your blood cell counts, such as anemia, infections, blood cancer, and immune system disorders.

What does a CBC blood test check for?

• Anemia (low levels of red blood cells or hemoglobin).
• Erythrocytosis (high concentrations of red blood cells).
• Thrombocytosis (high platelet count).
• Leukocytosis (high white blood count).
• Leukopenia (low white blood count).

These can be signs of many health conditions, including cancer, infections, medication side effects, and blood conditions. The results of the CBC test help healthcare providers to narrow down or diagnose the cause.

How does a CBC test work?
