About This Test
A Complete Blood Count, often referred to as a CBC, is a laboratory test that evaluates the cellular components of your blood. Because it covers several different measurements in a single sample, it is commonly included in routine wellness visits and general health screening.
LABTECH24 offers CBC collection at service locations and, where available, as part of a mobile specimen collection visit.
What Does This Test Measure?
A CBC reports values related to red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, including measures such as hemoglobin and hematocrit. These values are reported alongside reference ranges established by the performing laboratory.
Why Might This Test Be Ordered?
A CBC is commonly requested as part of a routine wellness visit, as a general health baseline, or as follow-up testing recommended by a healthcare professional. LABTECH24 does not determine medical necessity — your healthcare provider can advise on whether this test is appropriate for your situation.
Preparing for Your Appointment
A CBC typically does not require fasting or other special preparation. General appointment guidance still applies: bring a valid form of identification and arrive at your scheduled time.
What to Expect During Collection
Collection for a CBC is a standard blood draw. A trained professional will verify your identity, explain the process, collect the sample and label it for submission to the laboratory.
Understanding Your Results
Results are typically reported as a set of values with corresponding reference ranges. Discuss your specific results with a qualified healthcare professional, who can interpret them in the context of your overall health.
