What is a CBCD lab test?
CBCD stands for complete blood count with differential. It is a blood test that measures the number of different types of cells in your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It also measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood and the hematocrit, which is the percentage of red blood cells in your blood.
A CBCD is often ordered to screen for anemia, infection, and other blood disorders. It can also be used to monitor your health if you have a medical condition that affects your blood.
The results of your CBCD will be interpreted by your doctor. If you have any questions about your results, please ask your doctor.
Here are some of the things that can be detected with a CBCD:
* Anemia, which is a condition in which your blood has a low number of red blood cells
* Infection, which can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms
* Leukemia, which is a type of cancer that affects the white blood cells
* Lymphoma, which is a type of cancer that affects the lymph nodes
* Multiple myeloma, which is a type of cancer that affects the plasma cells
* Sickle cell anemia, which is a genetic condition in which the red blood cells are sickle-shaped
* Thalassemia, which is a genetic condition in which the body produces too little hemoglobin
