About this test
Probably the most common blood test on the planet.
A Full Blood Count (FBC for short) is used to look for abnormalities in your blood. This test measures the number and status of different blood cells including red cells, white cells and platelets.
A Full Blood Count can be used to check for anaemia, infection and a host of diseases which affect blood cells.
The FBC tests for 13 key markers: Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, Mean Cell Haemoglobin, Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Red Blood Cell Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Red Blood Cell Count, Basophil Count Lymphocyte Count, Eosinophil Count, Monocyte Count, Neutrophil Count, White Blood Cell Count, Platelet Count.
