Hemogram (CBC With ESR)

A Hemogram or complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test that measures various components of blood, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. It is a routine test that provides information about the overall health of an individual.

The complete blood count includes the measurements such as:

• WBC Count
• RBC Count
• Platelet Count
• Haemoglobin
• Haematocrit
• Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)
• Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH)
• Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
• Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)
• Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
• WBC Differential

 An ESR Test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle to the bottom of a test tube in one hour. It is a non-specific test that can indicate the presence of inflammation in the body. A high ESR value may indicate the presence of an underlying condition, such as an infection, cancer, or autoimmune disorder.

The CBC with ESR is just one part of a complete medical evaluation and should be interpreted in the context of the individual’s overall health status and medical history.

Why is Haemogram (CBC with ESR) Done?

A Haemogram or CBC with ESR is a commonly ordered blood test for different reasons

To evaluate overall health :  It is often done as a part of a routine medical exam to evaluate overall health status. To monitor an existing medical condition: If an individual has a chronic medical condition such as anemia, infection, inflammation, or cancer, a CBC with ESR may be done to measure the disease progression as well as  the treatment response.

To investigate the cause of symptoms : If an individual is experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, fever, or unexplained weight loss, a CBC with ESR may be done to help identify the underlying cause.

Before surgery or a medical procedure : A CBC with ESR may be done before a surgical or medical procedure to ensure that the individual is healthy enough to undergo the procedure.

To evaluate the response to treatment : If an individual is undergoing treatment for a medical condition, a CBC with ESR may be done to evaluate the response to treatment and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
