Complete Blood Count (CBC) test is a common blood test used to assess overall health and detect a variety of conditions, such as infections, anemia, and other blood-related disorders. It evaluates three main components of blood:

### 1. **Red Blood Cells (RBCs)**  
   - **Hemoglobin (Hb):** Measures the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.  
   - **Hematocrit (Hct):** Percentage of blood volume occupied by RBCs.  
   - **RBC Count:** The number of red blood cells present.  
   - **Indices:**  
     - Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)  
     - Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)  
     - Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)  

### 2. **White Blood Cells (WBCs)**  
   - **WBC Count:** The total number of white blood cells.  
   - **Differential Count:** Measures the percentage of different types of WBCs:  
     - Neutrophils  
     - Lymphocytes  
     - Monocytes  
     - Eosinophils  
     - Basophils  

### 3. **Platelets**  
   - Measures the number of platelets, which help with blood clotting.  

### **Normal Ranges (General)**  
- **RBC:** 4.7–6.1 million/μL (male), 4.2–5.4 million/μL (female)  
- **WBC:** 4,000–11,000 cells/μL  
- **Hemoglobin:** 13.8–17.2 g/dL (male), 12.1–15.1 g/dL (female)  
- **Platelets:** 150,000–450,000/μL  

 Why Is It Done?  
- To evaluate symptoms like fatigue, weakness, fever, or bruising.  
- To monitor conditions such as anemia or leukemia.  
- As part of routine health checkups.
