test Description
The “CBC+ESR” test, which combines the Complete Blood Count (CBC) with the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), offers a comprehensive assessment of various blood parameters to provide valuable insights into overall health and potential underlying conditions. The CBC component evaluates key aspects of blood composition, including hemoglobin levels, red blood cell (RBC) count, and white blood cell (WBC) count, along with differentials such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. These parameters help assess oxygen-carrying capacity, immune function, and the body’s response to infections or inflammation.
In addition to the CBC, the ESR test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube of blood over time, indicating the presence of inflammation in the body. By combining the CBC with ESR, healthcare professionals can obtain a more comprehensive understanding of potential health issues such as infections, inflammatory conditions, and anemia. This combined test is particularly useful in diagnosing and monitoring various diseases, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and certain types of cancer. Overall, the CBC+ESR test provides a holistic assessment of blood parameters, aiding in the early detection and management of a wide range of health conditions.
