CBC, ESR

কমপ্লিট ব্লাড কাউন্ট (CBC) একটি রক্ত পরীক্ষা,যা আপনার রক্ত ও সামগ্রিক স্বাস্থ্যের বিষয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ তথ্য প্রদান করে। এই পরীক্ষার মাধ্যমে চিকিৎসক বিভিন্ন রোগ, অবস্থা, ব্যাধি ও সংক্রমণ নির্ণয়, পর্যবেক্ষণ এবং স্ক্রিনিং করতে সহায়তা পান। চিকিৎসক সাধারণত আপনার রক্তের একটি নমুনা সংগ্রহ করেন, এবং পরীক্ষার ফলাফল সাধারণত এক দিনের মধ্যেই প্রস্তুত হয়।

Indication: Measures hemoglobin concentration to detect anemia. Why it's needed: A routine and essential test for identifying anemia, blood loss, or polycythemia.

The Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Peripheral Blood Film (PBF) test is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates overall health by measuring different blood components, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. The Peripheral Blood Film (PBF) provides a detailed microscopic examination of blood cells to detect abnormalities in shape, size, or structure, helping diagnose infections, anemia, blood disorders, and certain cancers.

Indication: Measures eosinophils, a type of white blood cell. Why it's needed: Elevated in allergic reactions, parasitic infections, or asthma.

Indication: Measures number of platelets (thrombocytes) in blood. Why it's needed: Essential for assessing bleeding risk, bone marrow function, or clotting disorders.

The Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC) test measures the percentage of different white blood cells in the blood—neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. It helps diagnose infections, allergies, immune disorders, and blood cancers. It's a key part of evaluating immune system function.

Indication: Measures new red blood cells produced by bone marrow. Why it's needed: Evaluates bone marrow function, especially in anemia or after blood loss.

Indication: Microscopic examination of blood cells. Why it's needed: Helps diagnose anemia, leukemia and other blood disorders.

A high ESR value may indicate infections, autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammatory conditions, or cancers. It is commonly used to monitor the progress or response to treatment in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, temporal arteritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Factors such as age, pregnancy, and anemia can also affect ESR levels.
