A Full Blood Count test is a commonly performed blood test that provides important insights into the number and types of cells in your blood.
This is because, your blood consists of three main components, suspended in the fluid of your blood plasma: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
So, how does this blood test support your health? Simply put: red blood cells contain haemoglobin, which delivers oxygen throughout your body. White blood cells are vital for your immune system, defending against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Whereas platelets help your blood clot, preventing excessive bleeding.
Abnormal levels of any of these types of cells are crucial information when diagnosing a number of diseases and conditions.
