CBP Test: Price, Purpose, Preparation, and Normal Range

The complete blood profile (CBP) measures the essential blood test that allows your doctor to evaluate each cell type in your blood. The CBP test measures the essential components of blood cells, including RBC, WBC, and platelets. Each of these types of cells performs essential functions to maintain overall health. The CBP test helps diagnose various health conditions and monitor how the body is affected by different diseases or medical treatments. You should consult your doctor if you notice symptoms like weakness, body aches, dizziness, weight loss, etc. Your healthcare provider may advise the CBP test as a routine health checkup to monitor general health or to identify health issues such as anemia, infections, or other blood-related disorders. Get CBP tests from nearby reliable labs to get accurate test reports.

Purpose of the CBP test

The CBP test helps maintain good health and preventive measures and improves long-term health. The purpose of the test is to assess your general health. Here is the purpose of the test-

• Diagnosis-  The test detects the early signs of potential health problems. The test measures the blood components to identify causes of anemia, inflammation, blood cancers, and bleeding disorders.
• Monitoring- The test monitors the health conditions and effectiveness of treatment by tracking changes in blood cell parameters.
• Assess risk factors- The CMP test identifies the underlying risk factors for certain diseases, such as cardiovascular disease or blood clots. 

What blood components does the CBP test measure?

The CBP test measures the various components of blood cells.  A standard test includes the various parameters related to RBC, WBC, and PLT that are described below- 

Red Blood cell measurements

• Red Blood Cells are the total number of RBCs in your blood sample. 
• Hemoglobin measures the amount of oxygen-carrying protein found in RBCs.
• Hematocrit measures the amount of blood volume that consists of WBC.

White Blood cell measurements 

White blood cells, also called leukocytes, are an important part of the immune system. The test measures the total WBC count in the blood. However, the breakdown of the amount of each of the five different types of WBC is as follows-

Total WBC count - This measures the number of WBCs per microliter (µL) of blood. The normal range of total WBC count is 4,500 to 11,000 µL/mL. 

WBC Differential 

This provides a breakdown of the individual types of WBCs as percentages of the total WBC count.

The five main WBC types are: 

• Neutrophils- Fight bacterial infections.
• Monocytes- Remove debris and fight chronic infections
• Eosinophils- Combat allergic reactions and parasites 
• Basophils-  Involved in allergic reactions and inflammation 

Platelets Measurements

Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are cell fragments that circulate in the blood and play an important role in blood clotting. When an injury and bleeding begins, the platelets help to stop bleeding, clumping together to form a temporary plug. The test measures the number of platelets per volume of blood. 

When should I get a complete blood count test?

Your doctor may recommend the test based on your medical history, symptoms, and risk factors. Here are some general circumstances that indicate you need a CBP test- 

• As a part of regular health checkups, doctors may advise you to take the test to detect early signs of potential health problems. 
• If you notice symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and fever, your doctors may recommend the test.
• Doctors may recommend certain surgeries or procedures like chemotherapy to assess your blood cell status and potential risks.
• The test is ordered to diagnose conditions like anemia, infection, or blood disorders. 
• Your doctor may recommend the test if you have a family history of blood disorders or a high risk of chronic diseases.
• If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, your doctor may recommend regular CBPs to monitor your health and the baby's.

Preparation for the CBP test

Like other blood tests, the CBP blood test is simple and does not require any special preparation before the test. The preparation is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the test. So, follow the below guidelines-

• No fasting is required before the test, and you can eat and drink as usual as per your routine.
• Stay hydrated to ensure an easy blood draw and accurate results.
• Don't stress, as this might impact your reports.
• Inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking.
• Avoid strenuous exercising as it might impact results temporarily.
• Get enough sleep to promote cell regeneration and ensure accurate results.

The procedure of the CBP test

The blood drawn is a simple procedure. The phlebotomist will first tie a band or tourniquet to your arm to make the veins more visible and clean it with an alcohol-based or antiseptic solution. After that, he will insert a needle in the vein to collect the blood. After the test tube or vial is filled, the needle will be removed, and the test will be over. The phlebotomist will put a bandage over the puncture site to stop bleeding. The blood drawing procedure will only take 3-5 minutes. 

What do the CBP test reports indicate?

The CBP test reports will be provided within 12 hours of sample collection. Always consult your reports with your healthcare provider, as your doctor will review the levels and how they compare to the lab and give you personalized treatments. The reports will show a reference range defined by the laboratory for each component. The results are above or below the normal ranges, showing health complications. 

The following sections describe some potential causes of high or low levels of RBCs, WBCs, and platelets. 

Red Blood Cells

• Red Blood Count-  A low count of RBC indicates iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, bone marrow problems, or chronic diseases. At the same time, high counts might suggest dehydration or certain cancers.
• Hemoglobin (Hb)-  Low hemoglobin levels indicate anemia causes fatigue and weakness. At the same time, high levels might be due to dehydration or heart disease.
• Hematocrit (Hct)- Low levels of Hct means anemia, while a high Hct means dehydration or blood clotting disorders.
• Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)- Indicates the average size of RBCs. Smaller than normal (microcytic) may be due to iron deficiency or bone marrow problems. Larger than normal (macrocytic) could be caused by vitamin B12 or folate deficiencies.

White blood Cells

Total WBC count- A high count (leukocytosis) can indicate infection, inflammation, or cancer, while a low count (leukopenia) increases the risk of infections.

WBC Differential- 

• Neutrophils-  Increased levels suggest bacterial infection.
• Lymphocytes- Increased levels might indicate viral infection or immune system issues.
• Monocytes- Increased levels mean chronic infections or autoimmune diseases.
• Eosinophils-  High levels indicate allergies, parasitic infections, or certain skin conditions.
• Basophils- High levels are rare but can indicate allergic reactions or certain cancers.

Platelets 

• Platelet Count-  A low count (thrombocytopenia) increases the risk of bleeding. A high count (thrombocytosis) raises the risk of blood clots.
• Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)-  Larger platelets (macrocytosis) might indicate immune disorders or vitamin deficiencies. Smaller platelets (microcytosis) could indicate bone marrow problems or certain medications.
