    What is a Complete Blood Count (CBC) with ESR Test?

    The complete blood count (CBC) with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) involves a detailed evaluation of various blood cell parameters such as the size and quantity of different blood cells within a given volume. The CBC with an ESR is the most commonly performed test in a routine examination. The test involves collecting a blood sample to analyse red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells, platelets, haemoglobin levels, and other parameters. The ESR component measures the rate at which red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube in one hour, indicating inflammation. Together, CBC and ESR tests help identify inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, anaemia, infections, and certain cancers, providing a comprehensive view of a patient's blood health.

    Test Parameters

    The CBC with ESR test includes a variety of parameters that provide a comprehensive overview of your blood health and potential inflammatory conditions. Here is a breakdown of each parameter included in the test:

    Red Blood Cells (RBC) Count

    Measures the number of red blood cells in your blood, which are responsible for carrying oxygen.

    Haemoglobin (Hb)

    Indicates the amount of haemoglobin in your blood, reflecting its oxygen-carrying capacity.

    Haematocrit (HCT)/ Packed Cell Volume (PCV)

    Represents the percentage of your blood that is made up of red blood cells.

    Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)

    Calculate the average size of your red blood cells.

    Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH)

    Measures the average amount of haemoglobin inside a single red blood cell.

    Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)

    Indicates the concentration of haemoglobin in a given volume of red blood cells.

    Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) CV

    Reflects the variation in the size of your red blood cells.

    Mentzer Index

    A ratio is used to differentiate between iron deficiency anaemia and thalassemia.

    Sehgal Index

    Another index used to assess and differentiate types of anaemia.

    Total White Blood Cell Count (TC)

    Measures the total number of white blood cells, which are key to your immune response.

    Differential and Absolute Counts

    Measures the proportions and exact numbers of the 5 types of WBCs:

    Neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils

    Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)

    The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes is used to assess the immune system and inflammation.

    Platelet Count

    Measures the number of platelets, which are essential for blood clotting.

    Platelet Haematocrit (Plateletcrit)

    Indicates the proportion of blood volume that is made up of platelets.

    Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)

    Reflects the average size of your platelets.

    Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

    Measures the rate at which red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube, indicating the presence of inflammation.

    Test Preparation

    Prerequisites

    There are no specific prerequisites for the test, and fasting is not required.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    The test can be done at any time during the day for your convenience.

    Eligibility

    This test is suitable for individuals of all ages needing a comprehensive health evaluation. It is recommended for those with symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, unexplained bruising, or signs of infection, and for monitoring existing conditions or during routine check-ups.

    Caution before taking the test

    Inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking, as some can affect test results.

    Why Take This Test?

    The test may be necessary for the following reasons:

    • Routine Health Exam: Provides insights into overall health during regular checkups.

    • Symptom Investigation: Helps identify underlying conditions causing symptoms like fever, weight loss, joint stiffness, night sweats, bruising, bleeding, or fatigue.

    • Monitoring Ongoing Conditions: Regularly monitors conditions like cancer or chronic kidney disease (CKD) to assess disease progression or treatment efficacy.

    • Diagnosing inflammatory conditions: ESR aids in diagnosing autoimmune diseases, infections, cancers, inflammatory arthritis, and blood disorders.

    • Evaluation of Treatment: Evaluates response to treatments such as chemotherapy, which can affect blood cell counts and immune function.

    • Pregnancy Monitoring: Monitor the health of pregnant individuals and their developing foetuses.
