About the Test

What is a Full Blood Count?

A Full Blood Count (FBC) measures the cellular components of your blood: red blood cells (oxygen transport), white blood cells (immunity), and platelets (clotting). It's a cornerstone of preventive health screening and disease diagnosis.

🧬
Why it matters
Detects anaemia, infections, blood clotting disorders, and even leukaemia. Essential for pre-surgical checks and monitoring chronic conditions.
📊
18+ Parameters
We provide detailed differentials: neutrophils, lymphocytes, MCV, MCH, RDW — giving a complete haematological picture.
🩸
Simple Blood Draw
Quick, minimally invasive venous sample. No special preparation needed for routine FBC.
When to Test

Five Signs You Need a Full Blood Count

01
Unexplained Fatigue
Persistent tiredness, weakness, or pale skin — possible signs of anaemia (low red blood cells).
02
Frequent Infections
Recurrent fevers or infections may indicate a white blood cell disorder or immune deficiency.
03
Easy Bruising/Bleeding
Unexpected bruises or prolonged bleeding from cuts can signal low platelet count (thrombocytopenia).
04
Pre-Surgery Assessment
Routine pre-operative screening to ensure your blood counts are safe for surgical procedures.
05
Chronic Disease Monitoring
For patients with kidney disease, cancer, or inflammatory conditions — track blood health over time.
