Test determining the level of red and white blood cells and platelets in a patient's bloodstream. An abnormal blood count may indicate infection, anemia, or the spread of prostate cancer.

Blood test to count how many of each type of blood cell there are in the blood.

analysis of blood cells including white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets; abnormal values can indicate cancer in the bone or side effects of therapy. See our paper Laboratory Tests Defined

the number of red and white corpuscles in a blood sample

a measurement of the number of blood cells an individual has in circulation based on laboratory evaluation of a blood sample

a measure of the different types of cells in your bloodstream

a relatively simple, inexpensive, and standard test

An examination of the blood to determine how many red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are present. Red blood cells carry oxygen through the body, white blood cells help the body fight infection, and platelets help the blood to clot. Some cancer treatments may affect blood counts so doctors keep track of any changes in order to provide treatments if they occur.

Sometimes may be called a combined blood count (CBC). A blood test that measures the number of red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells in circulation.

Test used to determine the number and ratio of red and white blood cells and platelets in an individual's blood. Abnormal numbers can indicate infection, anemia, or cancer.

Blood contains different types of cells circulating within the body suspended in a fluid called plasma. These cells include red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the body's tissues; white blood cells, which are an important part of the immune system; and platelets, which are involved in blood clotting. more...

Examination of a blood specimen in which the number of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets are determined.

The number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in a sample of blood.

The calculated number of white or red blood cells (WBCs or RBCs) in a cubic millimeter of blood.

Term used to describe the blood test which assesses the number of different cells contained in a sample of blood.

Measurement of the number of red cells, white cells, and platelets in a sample of blood.

A lab study to evaluate the amount of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.

A test to see how many red cells, white cells and platelets you have in your blood.

A laboratory test requiring a small blood sample with which to measure the number and types of cells circulating in the blood. The term complete blood count or CBC is often used to refer to this test. (See Society Fact Sheet on Blood Counts)

A count of the number of red blood cells and white blood cells in a given sample of blood.

A test measuring the levels of the cellular components of the blood. The components of blood are : Red blood cells - contain haemoglobin which carries oxygen to all tissues of the body, this is essential for energy. If the level of haemoglobin in your blood is low you will get tired quickly, because there is less oxygen being carried around your body. You will often have tests to check the number of red blood cells and may receive transfusions if these are low. Platelets - help blood clotting and thus prevent bleeding. A low platelet count means that you can bruise and/or bleed very easily. If your platelet count is low you may be given a platelet transfusion - this is the same as a blood transfusion, but the red and white cells have been separated and only the clear fluid containing the platelets is used. White blood cells - form part of the immune system, they are essential for fighting infection. These cells control immunity, produce antibodies which kill viruses, bacteria and fight infection. If you have low white cell count, you will be more susceptible to infection. If your white blood count is low, you may be given antibiotics to help fight infections.

The number of red cells, white cells, and platelets in a given blood sample.

A test that counts the number of different cells that are contained in the blood.

A blood count is when a sample of blood is taken, usually from your arm, and then examined in a laboratory to look at the number of cells it has.

The number of white cells, red cells and platelets in a sample of blood.
