    A complete blood count (CBC) measures and analyzes the components of blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It can help detect infections, bleeding disorders, anemia, and other conditions affecting blood cells. The CBC test involves drawing a blood sample, usually from a vein in the arm. The blood is analyzed to count and classify the different types of cells. Abnormal results may indicate issues like infection, inflammation, cancer, or blood disorders. The test is commonly used as part of routine medical exams and to monitor certain diseases and treatments.

    Blood
     Blood is defined as specialized connective tissue, consisting
    of liquid intercellular substances plasma and formed
    elements RBC,WBC and platelets
    Composition of
    blood Blood

    Plasma(55%) Formed Elements(45%)

    1. Plasma: plasma is a clear, straw-colored, watery fluid


    in which several different types of blood cell are suspended..
    2. Formed Elements: RBC,WBC and platelets
     Leukocytes are further classified into two subcategories called
    granulocytes which consist of neutrophils, eosinophils and
    basophils; and agranulocytes which consist of lymphocytes
    and monocytes.
    Composition of
    Blood
    Complete Blood Count
    (CBC)
     A complete blood cell count is a measurement of size,
    number, and maturity of the different blood cells in a
    specific volume of blood.
     A complete blood cell count can be used to determine
    many abnormalities with either the production or
    destruction of blood cells.
     Variations from the normal number, size, or maturity of the
    blood cells can be used to indicate an infection or disease
    process.
    Complete Blood Count
    (CBC)
    Why Get Tested?
     To determine general health status
     To screen for diagnose or monitor any one of a variety
    of diseases and conditions that affect blood cells such
    as anemia, infection, inflammation,
    bleeding disorder or cancer.
    EXAMPLE
     with an infection, the number of white blood cells
    will be elevated.
     Many forms of cancer can affect the bone marrow production of
    blood cells. An increase in the immature white blood cells in a
    complete blood cell count can be associated with leukemia.
     Anemia and sickle cell disease will have abnormally low hemoglobin.
    When To Get
    Tested?
     As part of a routine medical exam; when signs and
    symptoms that may be related to a condition that affects
    blood cells
     At regular intervals to monitor treatment or disease status
     When receiving any treatment known to affect blood cells
    Test Preparation
    Needed
    By Patients : None
    By medical lab staff:
     The skin should be cleaned with alcohol or iodine before
    the test.
     The patient should be seated comfortably or reclining.
     Procedure should be explained to patients who are afraid
    or considering this simple test somewhat scary.
    Procedure
     A blood sample drawn from a vein in arm or a fingerstick
    or heelstick (newborns).
     PROCEDURE OF SAMPLING
     During a CBC, a lab technician will draw blood from a vein,
    typically from the inside of elbow or from the back of
    hand.The test will take only a few minutes.
    STEP BY STEP
     1. cleans skin with an antiseptic wipe
     2. places an elastic band, around upper arm to help the vein
    swell with blood
     3. inserts a needle in the vein and collects a blood sample in
    one or more vials.
    Procedure
     4. removes the elastic band
     5. covers the area with a bandage to stop any bleeding
     6. Label sample and send it to a lab for analysis
    For infants
     In young infants, a nurse will typically sterilize the heel of
    the foot and use a small needle called a lancet to prick the
    area.
    The nurse will then gently squeeze the heel and collect
    a small amount of blood in a vial for testing

    How the test will feel and
    Complications
     When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel
    moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging
    sensation. After the blood is drawn, there may be some
    throbbing.
    Most CBC results are available within a few hours to a day after
    testing.
    COMPLICATIONS, including:
     Oozing of blood from puncture site
     Fainting or feeling lightheaded
     Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
     Multiple punctures to locate veins
     Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken
