Detailed Clinical Overview
A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is the cornerstone haematological investigation performed on EDTA whole blood using automated 5-part differential cell counters.
Measures Haemoglobin (Hb), Total RBC Count, Hematocrit (HCT/PCV), Red Cell Indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW), Total Leukocyte Count (TLC), 5-part Differential WBC Count (Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils), and Absolute Platelet Count.
Peripheral blood smear morphology examination is performed whenever automated flags indicate cell atypia, severe leucopenia/thrombocytopenia, or abnormal blasts.
