What is a complete blood count (CBC)?
A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test. It helps healthcare providers detect a range of disorders and conditions. It also checks your blood for signs of medication side effects. Providers use this test to screen for diseases and adjust treatments.

A CBC measures and counts your blood cells. Your provider takes a sample of your blood and sends it to a lab. The lab does a series of tests to evaluate your blood cells. These tests help your provider monitor your health.

The CBC is a very common test. You may have a CBC performed when you have a routine health examination, when you are being diagnosed or assessed for a disease or condition, or when your provider is monitoring the effectiveness of a treatment.

Your health care provider is in the best position to address whether a CBC is appropriate in your specific situation.
