The Complete Blood Picture (CBP), also known as the Complete Blood Count (CBC), is a routine hematology test that evaluates the major cellular components of blood. It helps healthcare professionals assess general health and identify abnormalities that may require further clinical evaluation.
At Sukuri Medical Laboratory Technology, we provide CBP testing to support the evaluation of anemia, infections, inflammatory conditions and platelet abnormalities.
What Does the CBP Test Measure?
The CBP test typically includes the following parameters:
- Hemoglobin (Hb): Measures the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells.
- Red Blood Cell Count (RBC): Measures the number of red blood cells.
- White Blood Cell Count (WBC / TLC): Measures white blood cells involved in immune defense.
- Platelet Count: Measures platelets that help blood clot.
- Hematocrit (PCV): Measures the proportion of blood volume occupied by red blood cells.
- Red Cell Indices (MCV, MCH and MCHC): Help evaluate red blood cell size and hemoglobin characteristics.
- Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC): Evaluates the proportions of different types of white blood cells, when included in the laboratory’s test panel.
- RDW and other indices: May be included according to the laboratory’s reporting protocol.
Why Is the CBP Test Recommended?
A healthcare professional may recommend a CBP test for:
- Evaluation of suspected anemia or nutritional deficiencies.
- Assessment of fever or suspected infection.
- Investigation of weakness, fatigue or pallor.
- Evaluation of low or high platelet counts.
- Routine health assessments.
- Monitoring selected medical conditions or treatments.
CBP results alone cannot confirm a specific disease. They should be interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history and other investigations when necessary.
