What is a CBC Test and Why is it Done?
A CBC (Complete Blood Count) test is a blood panel that evaluates the three major types of cells in your blood — red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is one of the most frequently ordered tests by doctors in Kolkata because it provides a comprehensive overview of your overall health in a single test.
Doctors recommend a CBC test in Kolkata for the following reasons:
- To diagnose infections, anaemia, and blood disorders
- To screen for diseases before symptoms appear during routine checkups
- To monitor patients undergoing chemotherapy or blood disorder treatment
- To evaluate unexplained symptoms like fatigue, fever, or weight loss
- To check how the body is responding to medications or treatments
When Should You Get a CBC Blood Test in Kolkata?
You should consider booking a CBC test in Kolkata if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- Persistent fatigue, dizziness, or weakness
- Unexplained fever, nausea, or vomiting
- Unusual bruising or bleeding that takes long to stop
- Joint pain or body inflammation
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
- Sudden unexplained weight loss
- Pale skin or shortness of breath
Even if you have no symptoms, a CBC test is recommended as part of an annual preventive health checkup for adults above 30 years of age.
What Does a CBC Test Measure? — Parameters Explained
A CBC blood test in Kolkata measures 26 parameters. Here are the key components and what they indicate:
- Red Blood Cells (RBC): Carry oxygen from lungs to the rest of the body. Low RBC indicates anaemia; high RBC may suggest dehydration or polycythemia.
- White Blood Cells (WBC): Fight infections and diseases. Abnormal WBC levels can indicate infections, immune disorders, or leukaemia.
- Platelets (PLT): Help blood clot after an injury. Low platelets (thrombocytopenia) can cause excessive bleeding; high platelets may indicate inflammation.
- Haemoglobin (Hb): A protein in RBCs that carries oxygen. Low haemoglobin is a direct indicator of anaemia.
- Hematocrit (HCT): Measures the proportion of red blood cells in total blood volume. Used to assess anaemia and dehydration.
- Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV): Measures the average size of red blood cells — helps classify the type of anaemia (iron-deficiency vs. vitamin B12 deficiency).
- Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils: Sub-types of WBCs that help identify the specific type of infection or immune response.
