Complete Blood Count

The cells that circulate in the bloodstream are generally divided into three types: red blood cells,white blood cells , and platelets. They are made inside your bones, in the bone marrow. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. White blood cells are a part of the immune system and help our bodies fight infection, and platelets are tiny blood cells that help your body form clots to
stop bleeding.

A complete blood count(CBC), also known as a complete blood cell count, full blood count, or full blood exam, is a test that evaluates the cells that circulate in blood. It is an easy and common way that screens for certain disorders that can affect your health.

A complete blood count is typically not a definitive diagnostic test. Depending on the reason your doctor recommended it as part of a routine health exam. This test used to detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infection and leukemia.
