What is a CBC?

Ever seen “CBC” on your lab order and wondered what it means? Let’s break it down. 🩸

A Complete Blood Count (CBC) measures the cells that make up your blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It’s one of the most commonly ordered lab tests because it can help your provider spot anemia, infection, clotting issues, and more.

A CBC alone doesn’t diagnose a condition, but it gives your provider valuable clues, especially when reviewed alongside your symptoms and history.

Curious what your CBC results mean? Ask your provider, or learn more about what a CBC checks.
