CBC Test (Complete Blood Count)

The CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests in Pakistan. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of your overall blood health by measuring key components including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. Doctors use CBC results to detect a wide range of conditions — from infections and anemia to inflammation and blood disorders.

Why Choose This Test?

• Complete evaluation of blood health in a single test
• Detects infections, anemia, and blood-related abnormalities
• Essential for routine health screenings and pre-surgical checkups
• Recommended as part of annual health checkups
• Free home sample collection available across Karachi

What 14 tests are included in a CBC? A standard CBC measures 14 parameters: White Blood Cell count (WBC), Red Blood Cell count (RBC), Hemoglobin (Hb), Hematocrit (HCT), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW), Platelet Count, Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, and Eosinophils. Your doctor uses these values together to assess everything from infection and inflammation to anemia and clotting disorders.

Can I check my CBC at home? Yes — Dr Essa Lab offers free home sample collection across Karachi for the CBC test. A trained phlebotomist visits your home or office at a time convenient for you, collects the blood sample, and your report is delivered the same day via email or WhatsApp. No need to visit a lab branch.

Do I need to fast before a CBC test? No fasting is required for a standard CBC test. You can eat and drink normally before the sample collection. However, if your doctor has ordered additional tests (such as Lipid Profile or Fasting Blood Sugar) alongside your CBC, you may need to fast for those.

CBC test price is 790Rs.
