The HB, TC, DC, Platelet panel is a comprehensive laboratory test offered by Apollo 24|7 to assess the levels of haemoglobin (HB), total leukocyte count (TLC), differential leukocyte count (DLC), and platelet count in the blood. The platelet count test and other tests included in the panel provides valuable insights into various conditions or diseases related to blood counts and helps in the diagnosis and management of such conditions. By analysing these parameters, healthcare professionals can gather important information about an individual's overall health and detect any abnormalities that may require further evaluation or treatment.

The HB, TC, DC, Platelet panel helps in diagnosing various conditions based on the symptoms presented by individuals. Some common symptoms associated with abnormalities in the blood counts include:

  • Fatigue and weakness: Low haemoglobin levels can cause fatigue and weakness as it affects the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
  • Frequent infections: Abnormal total leukocyte count can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections.
  • Easy bruising and bleeding: Decreased platelet count can result in easy bruising and prolonged bleeding, even with minor injuries.
  • Persistent fever: High total leukocyte count may indicate an ongoing infection or inflammation in the body.
  • Shortness of breath: Low haemoglobin levels can lead to reduced oxygen supply to tissues, causing shortness of breath.


To perform the HB, TC, DC, Platelet panel, a small blood sample is required. The sample is collected using a sterile needle and syringe or a vacutainer system. The preferred sample type for this test is whole blood collected in an EDTA tube to prevent clotting and preserve the integrity of the sample. The collection procedure is quick and relatively painless, usually taking only a few minutes.

Once the blood sample is collected, it is sent to the laboratory for analysis. The HB, TC, DC, Platelet panel measures the haemoglobin levels, total leukocyte count, differential leukocyte count, and platelet count using automated analysers. These analysers provide accurate and precise results within a short turnaround time.

In case of abnormal results on the HB, TC, DC, Platelet panel, further evaluation and treatment may be required based on the specific underlying condition. Treatment options can vary depending on the diagnosed condition and may include medication, lifestyle modifications, or additional diagnostic tests as recommended by healthcare professionals. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and personalised treatment plans.
