====== Complete blood count ======


A complete [[blood]] count (CBC) is a blood panel that gives information about the cells in a person's blood. 

The test reports the amounts of:

[[Leukocyte]]s

[[Neutrophil]]s

[[Lymphocyte]]s

[[Monocyte]]s

[[Eosinophil]]s

[[Basophil]]s

[[Neutrophil]]s

[[Red blood cell]]s, 

[[Platelet]]s.

[[Hemoglobin]]

[[Hematocrit]]

[[Mean corpuscular volume]]

[[Mean corpuscular hemoglobin]]

[[Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration]]

[[Red Cell Distribution Width]]

[[Platelet]]s

[[Mean platelet volume]]

The red blood cell indices, which describe the average size and hemoglobin content of red blood cells, are also reported, and a white blood cell differential, which counts the different types of white blood cells in the blood, such as [[neutrophil]]s, [[eosinophil]]s, [[basophil]]s, [[monocyte]]s, and [[lymphocyte]]s, may be performed.
