Full Blood Count (FBC) evaluates red and white blood cells, haemoglobin, and platelets. It’s a general health check to detect anaemia, infections, or blood disorders.

Why Clinilabs?
What’s included in this test
Red blood cells
Haemoglobin (Hb)
Haemoglobin carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Low levels may indicate anaemia, while high levels could signal dehydration or other blood disorders.
Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)
RDW measures the variation in size of your red blood cells. It helps identify types of anaemia and can indicate nutrient deficiencies such as iron, B12, or folate.
Red Blood Cells (RBC)
RBC count measures the number of red blood cells in your blood. It's key to assessing oxygen-carrying capacity and diagnosing anaemia or bone marrow issues.
White blood cells
White Blood Cells (WBC)
WBC count indicates immune system activity. Elevated levels can suggest infection or inflammation, while low levels may reflect bone marrow suppression or immune deficiency.
Eosinophils (Eo)
Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell involved in allergic reactions and fighting parasites. Elevated levels may suggest allergy, asthma, or parasitic infection.
Lymphocytes (Ly)
Lymphocytes help fight viral infections and are vital to your immune memory. Abnormal levels can be seen in viral illnesses or immune disorders.
Basophils (Ba)
Basophils are white blood cells that release histamine during allergic responses. They are rarely elevated but may increase in certain chronic inflammatory conditions.
Clotting status
Platelets (PLT)
Platelets are responsible for blood clotting. Low levels may lead to bleeding, while high levels can increase the risk of thrombosis.
Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)
MPV reflects the average size of your platelets. It provides insight into platelet production and activity, and can help assess risk of clotting or bleeding disorders.
Red blood cells
Haematocrit (HCT)
HCT shows the percentage of blood made up of red blood cells. It helps assess anaemia, dehydration, and overall blood volume status.
Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
MCHC shows the concentration of haemoglobin in your red blood cells. It's useful in evaluating anaemia types and red cell colour (hypochromia).
Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH)
MCH indicates the average amount of haemoglobin in each red blood cell. Abnormal levels help identify different forms of anaemia.
Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)
MCV reflects the average size of your red blood cells. It helps classify types of anaemia — whether cells are too large, too small, or just right in size.
White blood cells
Neutrophils (Ne)
Neutrophils are your body’s first line of defense against infection. High levels usually indicate bacterial infections or inflammation.
Monocytes (Mo)
Monocytes assist in clearing infections and dead cells. Elevated levels may indicate chronic inflammation or certain infections.
