Your blood is perhaps the most essential substance in your body—transporting life-sustaining nutrients, hormones, and oxygen throughout, while also carrying waste products to be removed through the lungs, liver, and kidneys. It’s also the body’s most crucial defense mechanism for fighting infections.
 
A complete blood count (CBC) counts the cells that circulate in your blood, which can provide valuable information to you and your doctor about your overall health (and may be useful to your doctor in detecting disorders such as anemia, inflammation, and infection).
 
Note: A CBC is not a diagnostic test and cannot confirm any specific illness or disease. Further testing and medical consultation may be required to determine the cause of abnormal results.

Why Consider This Test
Proactive Prevention
Six out of 10 adults have a chronic disease and four out of 10 have two or more, but changes in lifestyle and behavior (like being more physically active or eating a healthy diet) can prevent or control many of these conditions.
 
Taking Medications
In consultation with your doctor, a CMP can be used to monitor the use of certain medications to check for kidney-related or liver-related side effects.
 
Healthier Habits
Having a healthy diet pattern and engaging in regular physical activity is essential for long-term health benefits and for the prevention of chronic diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
