What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, weakness, frequent infections, or bruising easily. It helps screen for anemia, infections, blood disorders, and inflammatory conditions that may be affecting your energy levels and overall health. Many people use this as a routine wellness check or when their symptoms suggest something might be off with their blood health.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your blood cell counts mean for your overall health and immune function. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes to address anemia, lifestyle adjustments to support immunity, or whether you should follow up with your doctor for abnormal findings. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your blood counts over time using our trends feature to monitor improvements or catch changes early.

What's included in this test?

This test measures red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), red cell distribution width (RDW), and differential white blood cell counts. This comprehensive blood panel evaluates your red blood cells to check for anemia and oxygen-carrying capacity, white blood cells to assess immune function and detect infections, and platelets to monitor blood clotting ability. It also measures hemoglobin levels, hematocrit, and various cell sizes and characteristics that provide insights into nutritional deficiencies, inflammatory conditions, and overall blood health.

How should I prepare for this test?

No special preparation is typically required for a CBC test. You can eat and drink normally before the test and take your regular medications. However, if your healthcare provider has ordered other tests alongside your CBC that require fasting, they will provide specific instructions. It's always best to confirm with your ordering provider or testing location.

When will I get my results?

Most CBC results are available within 1-2 business days after your blood is drawn at the lab. You'll receive an email notification when your results are ready to view in your secure online account. Some testing locations may process results faster, and in urgent situations, healthcare providers can sometimes get preliminary results the same day.

Who should consider getting this test?

Anyone experiencing persistent fatigue, weakness, dizziness, or frequent infections should consider this test. It's also important for people with a family history of blood disorders, those on medications that affect blood cells, pregnant women, and individuals preparing for surgery. Many people also use it as part of routine annual wellness screening to catch problems early.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include ongoing tiredness that doesn't improve with rest, looking pale or having pale nail beds, feeling short of breath during normal activities, or getting sick more often than usual. You might also notice easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from minor cuts, frequent headaches, or feeling lightheaded. If you're experiencing unexplained weight loss, fever, or night sweats along with fatigue, a CBC can help identify the cause.

How can I naturally support healthy blood counts?

Eating iron-rich foods like lean red meat, spinach, and fortified cereals helps maintain healthy red blood cells and prevent anemia. Include vitamin C-rich foods to enhance iron absorption, and ensure adequate B12 and folate through eggs, dairy, and leafy greens. Getting regular exercise, staying hydrated, managing stress, and getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep all support healthy blood cell production and immune function.

What does low hemoglobin mean?

Low hemoglobin indicates anemia, meaning your blood isn't carrying enough oxygen to your body's tissues. This explains symptoms like fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath. Common causes include iron deficiency, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, chronic disease, or blood loss. Addressing the underlying cause through diet, supplements, or medical treatment can help restore healthy hemoglobin levels.

How often should I retest my blood counts?

For routine wellness monitoring, most people test their CBC annually as part of their physical exam. If you're being treated for anemia or another blood disorder, your doctor may recommend retesting every 1-3 months to monitor your response to treatment. People with chronic conditions affecting blood counts or those on certain medications may need more frequent monitoring every 3-6 months.
