It is essential to keep a close eye on your health and wellness and schedule a routine health checkup with your primary healthcare provider. It's recommended for people of all ages since it helps to detect and avoid health conditions before they even arise or snowball into severe illnesses. Your doctor can create an adequate treatment plan to fight off any disease or condition at its early stages. 

To do so, your doctor is likely to run some basic tests. One of these tests will include a complete blood count or CBC test. A complete blood count exam will help to screen any possible blood disorders, infections, or conditions that might impact a person's health. So, if there is any abnormal increase or decrease in the blood cell count, the test will decipher that. 

Overall, the test measures and evaluates three primary blood cell categories:

  • Red blood cells: The red blood cells, or RBCs, are responsible for carrying oxygen to the organs and tissues throughout the body. They also measure to sub-component of RBCs, including haemoglobin (the protein which carries oxygen) and hematocrit (the percentage of RBCs present in the blood). If these components are at low levels, it could indicate anaemia, a sign of iron deficiency.
  • White blood cells: The WBCs or white blood cells fight off infections and germs that invade the body. If there is any unusual increase or decrease in the WBCs, it could serve as an indication of cancer, infection, or inflammation. 
  • Platelets: When you meet with an unfortunate accident that causes an open injury and bleeding, your body's first response is to stop that bleeding and create a blood clot. The platelets are responsible for doing so. If there is any change in the levels of platelets, it can leave you at a high risk of excessive bleeding, which could be fatal.

faqFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is CBC and its normal range?

CBC stands for Complete Blood Count, a common blood test that measures different components of the blood including red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and platelets. Normal ranges vary but generally include: RBC 4.5-5.5 million/µL for males and 4.2-5.4 million/µL for females, WBC 4,000-11,000 cells/mcL, and platelets 150,000-450,000 cells/mcL.

What lifestyle adjustments should I consider before undergoing a CBC test to ensure the most accurate results?

For a CBC test, there are usually no specific lifestyle changes required. However, you must inform your doctor about any medication or supplements you're currently taking because some medicines might influence your blood count. It's always recommended to stay hydrated, get enough rest and maintain a balanced diet.

If my CBC test results fall outside the normal range, what are the next steps? Should I consult a specialist or make specific lifestyle changes?

If your CBC test results fall outside the normal range, it doesn't necessarily mean you have a health condition. However, you should consult your doctor or a specialist who can interpret the results accurately and guide you on the next course of action. It could involve further testing or specific lifestyle changes based on what they find.

Are there any alternative or complementary tests to consider alongside a CBC test for a more comprehensive assessment?

Yes, alongside a CBC test, other tests like a blood chemistry panel, coagulation tests, and genetic tests might also be recommended by your doctor for a comprehensive assessment of your health.

Can children or adolescents benefit from a CBC test, and if so, at what age should it be initiated?

Yes, children and adolescents can benefit from a CBC test. It helps in diagnosing conditions like anaemia and infections early on. The timing of the first test depends on individual health circumstances and it is best decided by your family physician.

How often should I review or retest my CBC test, especially if I've made lifestyle changes or started medication?

The frequency of CBC tests varies depending on individual health conditions and any medication you're taking. Generally, a yearly test during an annual check-up is common. However, if you've made significant lifestyle changes or started new medication, your doctor may recommend more frequent testing.

Are there any emerging technologies or advancements in CBC test that I should be aware of?

In recent years, the CBC test has been improved with automated and digital microscopy which provides quicker and accurate results. Keep in touch with your doctor or lab technician to know about the latest advancements.

What role does genetic testing play in a CBC test, and when might it be recommended alongside traditional testing?

Genetic testing can be valuable in diagnosing certain genetic disorders that may affect blood cell count. It could be recommended alongside a CBC test if initial results are abnormal or if there's a family history of blood disorders.

Can I drink water before a CBC test?

Yes, you can and should drink water before a CBC test as it aids in blood draw. However, avoid drinking excessive amounts as it might dilute your blood sample.

Can CBC detect all cancers?

No, a CBC test cannot detect all cancers. However, it can help identify problems such as anaemia or infection which could be symptoms of certain types of cancer.
