Full Blood Count (FBC) Test
Monitor Your Overall Health With One Simple Blood Test
What Is a Full Blood Count (FBC) Test?
A Full Blood Count (FBC), also known as a Complete Blood Count (CBC), is a common blood test that provides vital insights into your general health. It measures the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets — helping detect signs of infection, anemia, inflammation, blood disorders, or underlying medical conditions.
A full blood count test measures:
Red Blood Cells (RBC) - Carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body
Haemoglobin (Hb) - Protein in red blood cells that binds oxygen — low levels may indicate anemia
Hematocrit (HCT) - Percentage of blood volume made up by red blood cells
White Blood Cells (WBC) - Part of your immune system — raised levels may indicate infection or inflammation
Platelets - Help your blood clot. Too few or too many can signal a bleeding or clotting disorder
Who Should Consider an Full Blood Count Test?
You may consider doing a FBC if you:
- Feel persistently tired, weak, or dizzy
- Have signs of infection (fever, chills, frequent illness)
- Are experiencing unusual bruising or bleeding
- Have ongoing inflammation or suspected autoimmune issues
- Are undergoing treatment for cancer or other chronic conditions
Also, our Doctors at Regis Medical may order a FBC as part of evaluating your symptoms in acute or chronic medical situations.
Common Issues Detected
A FBC test is usually the first step in detecting the following
- Anaemia (low red blood cells or haemoglobin)
- B12/Folate Deficiency
- Possible Thyroid Issues
- High White Blood Cell Count may signal ongoing infection or malignancy, and further classification of subtypes may give further clues for diagnosis
- Low Platelets may be present in Dengue Fever
- If a peripheral blood film (PBF) is done as well, the presence of certain cells in the blood film also give further clues for more accurate diagnosis
