The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Common Symptoms for prescribing this test:

  • Fatigue
  • Weakness

  • Bruising easily

  • Frequent infections

  • Bleeding or bruising without a known cause

  • Anemia symptoms such as shortness of breath or rapid heartbeat

  • Swollen lymph nodes

Diagnosis:

• The CBC test is used to help diagnose a wide variety of conditions, including anemia, infection, leukemia, and other blood disorders. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for these conditions.

• Reference range:
