Complete Blood Count - CBC | Hemogram
Other names: Complete Blood Hemogram, full hemogram
Complete Hemogram means a comprehensive test which includes broad screening of blood component parameters.
Complete Hemogram includes following tests:
- Complete Blood Count or CBC test: measures various different components and features of the blood
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation rate ESR: rate at which RBCs settle at bottom in one hour is also measured.
A complete hemogram blood test (HMG) mainly involves the testing for three components: Red Blood Cells (RBCs), White Blood Cells (WBCs), and Platelets. Complete hemogram test list is as follows:
- Total count of WBC, RBC & Platelets: Total number of RBC, WBC and platelets
- Differential WBC count: Number of different types of WBCs namely Neutrophils, Basophils, Eosinophils, Lymphocytes and Monocytes.
- Platelet Crit (PCT): volume occupied by platelets in blood
- Mean Cell Volume (MCV): This is the average size of your red blood cells.
- Mean Platelet Volume (MPV): This measures average size of platelet
- Peripheral Smear Examination: This examines physical appearance of RBC, WBC and platelets
- Packed Cell Volume (PCV) OR Haematocrit (HCT): It is ratio of Red blood cells versus fluid/liquid component of the blood, also known as plasma.
- Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH) & its Concentration
- RBC Distribution Width-Standard Deviation (RDW-SD)
- RBC Distribution Width-Coefficient of Variation (RDW-CV)
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): It measures how quickly red blood cell settle at the bottom. This is measured in per hour basis.
Complete Blood Count reference range:
Hemoglobin | Men: 13 to 17 (gm/dL) for Women: 12 to 15 gm/dL |
Red Blood Cells (RBCs) | Men: 4.5 to 5.5 million cells/mcL; Women: 3.8 to 4.8 million cells/mcL |
White Blood Cells (WBCs) | 4,000 to 10,000 (cells/mcL) |
Platelets | 1,50,000 to 4,10,000 platelets/mcL |
Hematocrit | Men: 40% to 50%; Women: 36% to 46% |
Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) | 83 to 101 fL |
Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) | 6.8 - 10.9 fL |
Mean Cell Haemoglobin | 27 - 32 pg |
RBC Distribution Width | 11.6 - 14%

Erothrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
| Men: 0-14 mm/hr, or 0-20 mm/hr for men older than 50
Women: 0-20 mm/hr, or 0-30 mm/hr for women older than 50 |
Requirements:
No fasting is required. However, other test done along with this may require it, hence check with your healthcare provider for the same.
