  1. Normal Blood Cell Count: Understanding CBC Test Results and Ranges

  2. What is a CBC Test and What Does it Measure? A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a routine blood test that evaluates the overall health of the blood by measuring different components in a blood sample, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), platelets, haemoglobin, and haematocrit. It helps detect conditions such as anaemia, infections, clotting disorders, and immune system abnormalities. Each component of the CBC serves a different function in the body, such as: • RBCs carry oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues. • WBCs are part of the immune system and help fight infection. • Platelets support blood clotting and wound healing. • Haemoglobinis the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. • Haematocritreflects the proportion of blood volume made up of red cells.

  3. CBC Interpretation: What High or Low Values May Indicate A Complete Blood Count (CBC) not only reveals current health status but also provides early clues about underlying conditions. Deviations from the cbc normal range, whether high or low, can help doctors narrow down the cause of symptoms and decide the next steps in diagnosis or treatment. Common CBC Findings and What They May Suggest: • Low Red Blood Cell Count (Low RBC / Low CBC Count): May indicate anaemia, blood loss, nutritional deficiencies (such as iron, B12, or folate), or chronic kidney disease. • Elevated Red Blood Cell Count: May result from dehydration, lung disease, heart conditions, or a rare bone marrow disorder known as polycythaemiavera. • Low White Blood Cell Count: Could be due to viral infections, autoimmune disorders, or the effect of medications such as chemotherapy. • High White Blood Cell Count: Often associated with infections, inflammation, leukaemia, or physical stress. • Low Platelet Count: Can be linked to viral infections, bone marrow disorders, or autoimmune conditions such as ITP (immune thrombocytopenic purpura). Abnormal CBC test results should always be interpreted alongside symptoms and other investigations. A single reading is rarely diagnostic on its own.
