Test Details & What It Measures
A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a common and essential blood test that provides a broad overview of your overall health. It evaluates several key components of your blood to help detect a wide range of conditions—such as anemia, infections, inflammation, and bleeding disorders—often before symptoms arise.
The CBC measures:
-
Red Blood Cells (RBCs) – Carry oxygen from the lungs to the body.
• Normal: 4.7–6.1 million/μL (men), 4.2–5.4 million/μL (women) -
White Blood Cells (WBCs) – Fight infections and respond to inflammation.
• Normal: 4,500–11,000/μL -
Hemoglobin (Hgb) – The oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells.
• Normal: 13.8–17.2 g/dL (men), 12.1–15.1 g/dL (women) -
Hematocrit (Hct) – The percentage of your blood made up of red blood cells.
• Normal: 40–52% (men), 36–48% (women) -
Platelets – Help your blood clot to prevent bleeding.
• Normal: 150,000–450,000/μL
While these reference ranges are general guidelines, values can vary slightly by laboratory. Abnormal results don’t always mean something is wrong—but they offer vital insights that your healthcare provider can use to investigate further and guide next steps in care.
