Complete Blood Count (CBC): Easy Interpretation, Normal Values & Much More
Unlock the essentials of the CBC (Complete Blood Count) with this clear, step-by-step guide designed for medical students, nurses, doctors, and anyone wanting to understand lab tests. Learn how to read CBC results, interpret RBC, WBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC and Platelets. Perfect for clinical rotations, exams, or everyday practice. #CBC #CompleteBloodCount #CBCInterpretation #Hematology
What you’ll learn (quick overview):
Simple, high-yield explanation of what a CBC measures — RBC, WBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Platelets, and red cell indices
How to interpret abnormal results: anemia, polycythemia, leukopenia, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, thrombocytosis
Stepwise approach to CBC interpretation: look at values, red cell indices, reticulocyte response, peripheral smear correlation
Clinical correlations: common causes of microcytic, normocytic, and macrocytic anemia; infection vs. inflammation vs. leukemia for WBC changes
Common reference ranges (adults — lab-dependent):
WBC: ~4.0–11.0 x10^9/L (4,000–11,000/µL)
Hemoglobin: Males ~13.8–17.2 g/dL; Females ~12.1–15.1 g/dL
Hematocrit: Males ~40–50%; Females ~36–44%
RBC count: Males ~4.7–6.1 x10^12/L; Females ~4.2–5.4 x10^12/L
MCV: 80–100 fL | MCH: 27–33 pg | MCHC: 33–36 g/dL
Platelets: 150–450 x10^9/L (150,000–450,000/µL)
(Always use your lab’s reference intervals — values can vary.) #LabValues #BloodTest
