What a CBC measures

A Complete Blood Count looks at red cells, white cells, haemoglobin and platelets to give a broad picture of your health.

How to prepare

No fasting is needed for a standalone CBC. Stay hydrated and carry your prescription.

Remember that results should always be interpreted alongside your symptoms and your doctor advice. CareSetu helps you book the right test at an accredited partner centre near you, at a negotiated price.
