Understanding Your Test
What a CBC Measures
A CBC looks at several important components of your blood and can provide useful information about general blood health.
01
Hemoglobin (Hb)
The oxygen-carrying protein in your blood. Low levels may suggest anemia.
02
Red Blood Cells
RBC measurements and related indices provide information about the cells responsible for carrying oxygen.
03
White Blood Cells
WBC and differential measurements can provide information related to infection or inflammation.
04
Platelets
Platelets are blood cells involved in the body's normal clotting process.

Preparation
Usually none — a CBC generally doesn’t require fasting. If your doctor ordered other tests alongside it, such as a lipid profile, those may need fasting.
Mayo Health confirms the exact preparation instructions when you book your test.

Can I get a CBC test at home in Peshawar?
Yes. CBC is eligible for Mayo Health’s home sample collection, free for eligible bookings across Peshawar.
Can a CBC detect anemia?
A CBC shows hemoglobin and red-cell values that can indicate anemia. Finding the cause may require follow-up tests such as an anemia profile, including iron studies, B12 and folate.
