Complete Blood Count (CBC)
A complete blood count is a census of the cells in your blood. Red cells carry oxygen, white cells take part in immune defense, and platelets help blood clot. Healiam’s CBC reports the counts themselves and the details that explain them: how large the red cells are, how much hemoglobin they hold, how much their size varies, and how the white cells split into neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.
What this group shows
- Hemoglobin, hematocrit, and the red cell count show whether oxygen-carrying capacity is low, typical, or high.
- MCV, MCH, MCHC, and RDW describe the size and hemoglobin content of red cells, which helps sort out why a count is off.
- The differential reports each white cell type as a percentage and as an absolute count. The absolute count is the number clinicians usually act on.

How to use this page
This page explains what the measurement is for. It is educational. Your Healiam report includes the reference interval for your age and sex, and a clinician reads that result with your history, medicines, and the rest of the panel. Talk with a clinician before changing diet, supplements, or treatment because of a number on a report.
