CBC means a complete blood count. They want to know how many red blood cells you have in that volume they took. They also want to know the number of white blood cells you have and the "diff" means that they want to know how many of each of the types of white blood cells you have. They also count the number of platelets that you have. They use an automatic counter that takes about 2 minutes to do this. There are normal amounts for each value that is given. Anything that is not within normal range gives them a clue to what may be bothering you. As to the "plate", if you are sure that you are spelling this correctly, that would mean that they will try to see if any bacteria is in the blood. Otherwise it means the number of platelets, These are important in clotting. Too few can cause bruising even with a slight bump.
