A complete blood count with ESR is one of the most informative and frequently prescribed tests that gives a general idea of a person's health. Allows to evaluate the composition of the blood: the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin levels, hematocrit, as well as parameters such as the size and shape of blood cells. The ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) indicator helps to suspect the presence of inflammation or chronic diseases. This check-up is indispensable both for primary diagnostics and for monitoring the effectiveness of treatment.
Shows the number and ratio of formed elements of the blood (erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets), hemoglobin level, hematocrit, color index, etc.
Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carbon dioxide back. Contain hemoglobin and are responsible for gas exchange.
dehydration, chronic hypoxia, lung diseases, congenital heart defects, erythremia.
anemia, blood loss, chronic inflammatory diseases, bone marrow hematopoiesis disorders.
Protein contained in red blood cells. Provides transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Is the main indicator of the oxygen capacity of the blood.
thickening of blood due to dehydration, chronic hypoxia, erythrocytosis, lung diseases, smoking.
anemia (iron deficiency, B12 deficiency, chronic), blood loss, pregnancy.
White blood cells, perform a protective function. Participate in immune reactions, destroy infectious agents and atypical cells.
bacterial infections, inflammation, trauma, malignant neoplasms, leukemia, glucocorticoid intake.
viral infections, bone marrow suppression, aplastic anemia, autoimmune diseases, cytostatics.
Cells involved in blood clotting. Provide primary hemostasis – form a platelet plug at the site of vascular damage.
inflammatory processes, iron deficiency anemia, after removal of the spleen, myeloproliferative diseases.
viral infections, autoimmune conditions, taking certain medications, liver cirrhosis, thrombocytopenic purpura, leukemia.
Shows an indirect sign of the presence of inflammation or other pathological processes.
inflammatory and infectious diseases, anemia, autoimmune pathologies, oncology
polycythemia, hyperbilirubinemia, taking certain medications
