General blood analysis
A complete blood count (CBC) is the first diagnostic method that is prescribed to patients during preventive examinations or in the presence of health complaints. This is an accessible and easy-to-carry out analysis, which has been performed in Ukraine for many decades and does not lose its relevance. With the help of CBC, the doctor can quickly assess the state of health, determine the presence of problems and decide what additional methods of examination should be prescribed to the patient.
The Dobrobut MC clinic in Kyiv offers the best price for a general blood test, quick and painless blood sampling, and results within 1 day.
What does the analysis of the CBC show
In a standard blood test, a laboratory analyzer determines the following indicators:
- erythrocytes - red blood cells that bring oxygen to all tissues of the body;
- hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that can attach oxygen molecules, give them to tissues, and in return take away excess carbon dioxide;
- color indicator - the degree of saturation of red blood cells with hemoglobin, which shows the correct functioning of the hematopoietic system;
- hematocrit - the number of formed elements per unit volume of blood, which indicates the degree of blood viscosity;
- leukocytes - white blood cells that recognize and neutralize infectious pathogens;
- platelets - components of the blood coagulation system that form blood clots to stop bleeding;
- ESR is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which depends on the protein composition of blood plasma and is considered an important marker of inflammatory reactions.
The price of CBC is lower compared to an extended clinical blood test, in which the leukocyte formula is additionally calculated.
Indications for analysis
- passing a scheduled preventive examination;
- the presence of any complaints and suspicious symptoms;
- consultation when planning pregnancy or IVF protocol;
- preparation for operations and invasive manipulations;
- preparation for planned hospitalization in a hospital;
- evaluation of the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment;
- control of adverse reactions in the appointment of aggressive drugs.
In the process of diagnosis and treatment, CBC can be repeated to assess the dynamics and prescribe adequate treatment. The low cost of a general blood test makes such a study affordable for every patient, and the absence of health risks allows people of all ages to perform the study with any acute or chronic diseases.
