Blood C/E (Complete CBC) Test at Chughtai Lab

A Blood C/E (Complete CBC), commonly known as a Complete Blood Count (CBC), is one of the most frequently requested laboratory tests used to evaluate your overall health and detect a wide range of medical conditions. It measures the number and characteristics of different blood cells, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. These parameters provide valuable information about oxygen-carrying capacity, immune function, blood clotting, and the body’s response to infections or inflammation.

Doctors often recommend a CBC as part of a routine health check-up, before surgery, during pregnancy, or when patients experience symptoms such as fever, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, frequent infections, easy bruising, or unexplained bleeding. The test is also essential for diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as anemia, infections, blood disorders, inflammatory diseases, and certain cancers.
