Main purpose of a Haemogram test

A complete haemogram offers the whole picture of health. It is a vital clinical tool since it analyses blood cells and detects a wide range of medical illnesses existing in the bloodstream. The main uses of a Haemogram test are:

• Screening for diseases before the symptoms appear during a routine health checkup
• Diagnosis of the cause of diseases and symptoms
• Monitoring the patient’s response to a particular treatment
• Detecting all types of pathogens and related infections
• Detecting all the blood cells, including white blood cells, red cells, platelets, their normal levels, and physical features 
• Identifying and diagnosing a variety of symptoms and inflammations

The complete haemogram test doesn’t confirm any infection or specific disease. Only a doctor can confirm the illness, so contacting your physician after getting the test report is necessary.

Taking a complete Haemogram Test

Before the Haemogram test

A few mL of blood is taken from an arm, and no particular preparation is needed before a haemogram test. But if this test is included with other tests, like in a routine checkup, the doctor may ask you to refrain from a few things. For more specifics, it is always better to ask your doctor.

During the Haemogram test

It takes several steps to perform a haemogram test:

• First, a technician cleans some specific area of the arm using the antiseptic, with blood from the needle.
• A band is tied around the upper side of the arm to detect the vein clearly.
• A few milliliters of blood are withdrawn by inserting a sterile needle and collected in a vial for further analysis.

After the Haemogram test

At the puncture site, antiseptic-dipped cotton is placed to stop minor bleeding. However, there are no side effects from the test, except some irritation or pain at the site of the needle prick can be felt, which can go away within an hour.

Haemogram Test results

The results of a Haemogram Test in Pune can be obtained within the same day to the next day after collecting a blood sample. The test report can be received by mail or by WhatsApp. A haemogram test report contains the values of each blood cell and the values of the ESR test, along with the standard reference values.

If test values of each component come in the normal reference ranges, it means the patient’s condition is normal. If test values come below or above the standard reference ranges, there are chances of infection or disease. That can be further discussed with the doctor. A doctor may review all the parameters, symptoms, family history, etc. Then, he may order some other tests if he suspects severe illness or infection.
