Complete Blood Count (CBC) +ESR

Report Delivery Time: Same Day

Recommended Gender: Both

Sample Type: Blood

The Complete Blood Count (CBC) + Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test is a routine blood test that measures red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, and ESR levels. It helps diagnose infections, anemia, inflammation, and other medical conditions.

The Complete Blood Count (CBC) + ESR Test is a comprehensive diagnostic test that evaluates:
Blood cell components (RBCs, WBCs, platelets, hemoglobin, hematocrit).
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), which measures inflammation levels in the body.

It is a widely used screening test for detecting infections, anemia, immune disorders, and inflammation-related conditions like arthritis or chronic diseases.

Why is the CBC + ESR Test Done?

📌 To check for infections – Elevated WBC counts may indicate bacterial or viral infections.
📌 To diagnose anemia – Low RBC counts, hemoglobin, or hematocrit suggest anemia.
📌 To detect blood disorders – Helps in diagnosing leukemia, clotting issues, or platelet abnormalities.
📌 To assess overall health – A routine test for general health checkups.
📌 To monitor inflammation – ESR is an indicator of conditions like arthritis, autoimmune diseases, or chronic infections.

Who Should Get This Test?

🔹 Individuals with symptoms like:

  • Fatigue, dizziness, or pale skin (possible anemia).
  • Persistent fever, weakness, or swollen lymph nodes (signs of infection).
  • Unexplained bruising or bleeding (platelet disorders).
  • Joint pain, stiffness, or chronic inflammation (autoimmune diseases).
    🔹 Patients undergoing treatment for infections, anemia, or chronic diseases to monitor progress.
    🔹 Pre-surgical screening or routine health checkups.

How is the CBC + ESR Test Performed?

Preparation:

  • No fasting is required.
  • Inform the doctor about any ongoing medications.

Procedure:

  1. A blood sample is drawn from a vein in the arm.
  2. The sample is analyzed using a Cell Counter for CBC and a sedimentation test for ESR.
  3. Results are usually available within 24 hours.

Understanding the Results

Complete Blood Count (CBC) Parameters

Parameter Normal Range Indications of Abnormal Levels
RBC Count M: 4.7-6.1 M/μL, F: 4.2-5.4 M/μL Low: Anemia, blood loss; High: Dehydration, lung disease
WBC Count 4,000-11,000/μL High: Infection, inflammation; Low: Immune disorder
Hemoglobin (Hb) M: 13.8-17.2 g/dL, F: 12.1-15.1 g/dL Low: Anemia; High: Lung disease, dehydration
Hematocrit (Hct) M: 40-54%, F: 36-48% Low: Blood loss, anemia; High: Dehydration
Platelet Count 150,000-450,000/μL Low: Bleeding disorder; High: Clotting risk

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Normal Range

Gender & Age Normal ESR Range (mm/hr)
Men 0-15 mm/hr
Women 0-20 mm/hr
Children 0-10 mm/hr

High ESR indicates infections, inflammation, autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus), or chronic diseases.
Low ESR may be linked to sickle cell anemia or certain blood disorders.

Factors Affecting CBC & ESR Results

🔸 Medications – Some antibiotics, steroids, or chemotherapy drugs can alter results.
🔸 Pregnancy – Can naturally elevate ESR levels.
🔸 Dehydration – May falsely elevate hematocrit and hemoglobin.
🔸 Nutritional deficiencies – Iron, vitamin B12, or folate deficiencies can affect RBC levels.

Limitations of the CBC + ESR Test

Does not diagnose a specific disease – Abnormal results need further tests for confirmation.
ESR is a general marker – High ESR alone does not indicate the exact cause of inflammation.
Temporary fluctuations – CBC counts can change due to minor illnesses, hydration levels, or stress.

Why is the CBC + ESR Test Important?

A routine health check for overall well-being.
Helps detect early signs of infection, anemia, and chronic diseases.
Monitors ongoing treatments and disease progression.

This test is one of the most commonly performed blood tests and provides valuable insights into a person’s health status.
