Full Blood Count
| Full Blood Count | ||
| This test can be done to look for signs of anaemia and other disorders including blood clotting problems. Also this looks for illness affecting the immune system, such as an infection or viral condition. Also high white cell counts can be an indication of other conditions such as Leukaemia. See below for more details. | ||
This is one of the most requested blood tests requested and is often taken
as part of a routine health check.
The full blood count consists of the following: Red blood cell (RBC) count: is a count of the actual number of red blood cells per volume of blood. Both increases
and decreases can point to abnormal conditions.
Haematocrit measures the amount of space red blood cells take up in the blood. It is reported as a percentage (0 to 100) or a proportion (0 to 1)
Haemoglobin concentration (Hb): This is usually the first parameter ona results form. It defines anaemia when low but may also be high in a number of other conditions. The identification of the type of anaemia is aided by:
Mean cell volume (MCV) – This is a good starting point for the evaluation of anaemia and usefully classifies anaemia into macro- and microcytic anaemias – see below.
Mean cell haemoglobin (MCH) – High values are found in macrocytosis and low values are seen in iron deficiency.
Mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) - This is of particular use in the evaluation of microcytic anaemias. High values are seen in severe or prolonged dehydration, hereditary spherocytosis and cold agglutinin disease. MCHC is low in iron deficiency anaemia and thalassaemia.
White blood cell (WBC) count is a count of the actual number of white blood cells per volume of blood. Both increases and decreases can be significant.
White blood cell differential: looks at the types of white blood cells present. There are five different types of white blood cells, each with its own function in protecting us from infection. The differential classifies a person’s white blood cells into each type: neutrophils (also known as PMNs or neuts), lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.
The platelet count is the number of platelets in a given volume of blood. Both increases and decreases can point to abnormal conditions of excess bleeding or clotting. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a machine-calculated measurement of the average size of your platelets. New platelets are larger, and an increased MPV occurs when increased numbers of platelets are being produced. MPV gives your doctor information about platelet production in your bone marrow. Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is a measurement of the average size of your RBCs. The MCV is elevated when your RBCs are larger than normal (macrocytic), for example in anaemia caused by vitamin_b12 deficiency. When the MCV is decreased, your RBCs are smaller than normal (microcytic), such as is seen in iron deficiency anaemia or thalassaemias.

| Lipid profile (fasting Cholesterol). This fasting test would include HDL, LDL, Cholesterol and also the level of Triglycerides in the blood. | ||
Liver Function
| Liver Function | ||
| This can measure various chemicals in the blood made by the liver an abnormal result may indicate a problem with the liver, in which case further investigation may be required | ||
Kidney Function
| Kidney Function | ||
| This assesses how well the kidneys are working and how effective they are at filtering the blood and regulating the water and salt levels within the body. | ||
