Blood Health Markers
Complete blood count markers including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, and immune cell differentials.
About Blood Health Markers
Blood health markers, primarily measured through a Complete Blood Count (CBC), provide essential information about your blood cells and immune system. These include red blood cell counts and indices (RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC), white blood cell counts and differentials (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils), and platelet counts.
These markers help diagnose anemia, infections, immune disorders, blood cancers, and many other conditions. They're also crucial for monitoring responses to treatment and overall health status. The CBC is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests and provides valuable baseline health information.
