Hematology is the area of medicine concerned with blood and blood-related conditions. In the laboratory, a common hematology test is the complete blood count, or CBC. It measures red blood cells, white blood cells, haemoglobin and platelets. These values can give your doctor clues when investigating anaemia, changes in white cell counts or concerns about platelets. A hematology report is also useful when your clinician wants to see whether a blood count has changed since an earlier visit.

Agarwal Diagnostics offers laboratory hematology testing in Techzone IV, Greater Noida West. If you are coming in for a CBC or another doctor-requested blood investigation, bring the prescription so the laboratory can confirm the exact test. Keep earlier reports if the test is a follow-up. When you discuss the results, ask your clinician which part of the blood count they are reviewing and whether they want to check it again later.
