What is estimated in complete blood count?

Answer 1

A complete blood count (CBC) is a fairly broad blood test that is very helpful when you're sick. Your blood is comprised of many different parts. When you're sick it affects the different parts of the blood in different ways. For example, if you have an infection, your white blood cells (your defense system) will likely be higher than normal. Or, if you have been feeling more tired than usual perhaps your red blood cells (which carry iron) are low and you need to take an iron supplement.

Answer 2

A CBC is a complete blood count.

It contains:

RBC - number of red blood cells

MCV - average volume of individual red blood cells

MCHC - average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell

RDW - the average size of the red blood cell

Hematocrit

WBC - number of white blood cells.

If it is ordered with a differential, then they want the lab to break down the different types of white blood cells, such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, as monocytes.
