The Complete Blood Count with Differential screens for blood abnormalities including red and white blood cells and platelets. Abnormal values have many possible causes including diseases of the blood as well as abnormalities of other organs systems. A complete blood count is used as a screening test for various disease states including anemia, leukemia and inflammatory processes.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
The CBC is sometimes called Hemogram.
