Overview
Process & Results

Overview of the Full Blood Count Blood Test:

A Full Blood Count (FBC) serves as a comprehensive assessment of the health of your blood cells, providing insights into the size, shape, and volume of platelets in your bloodstream. Platelets play a pivotal role in blood clotting processes, and examining these parameters helps gauge overall blood health.

Full Blood Count Blood Test in Males and Females:

A Full Blood Count (FBC) test is a standard blood test that assesses the overall health of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This test is applicable to both males and females and provides valuable information about various aspects of blood health.

Procedure of the Full Blood Count Blood Test:

A health care professional collects a blood sample, usually from a vein in the arm. The procedure is quick and involves minimal discomfort.

Preparation and Risks:

No special preparation is needed for the blood test. Risks associated with blood tests are minimal, typically involving slight pain or bruising at the needle site.

Interpreting the Results:

Platelet Size (MPV - Mean Platelet Volume):
- Normal Range: Typically 7.4 to 10.4 femtoliters (fL).
- Interpretation: Larger MPV may suggest increased platelet production in response to certain conditions.
Platelet Distribution Width (PDW):
- Normal Range: Generally 9.5% to 17.0%.
- Interpretation: Measures variation in platelet size; elevated PDW may indicate increased platelet variability.

Regular FBC, including platelet assessment, is a fundamental tool in understanding and monitoring blood health. If there are concerns about platelet function or related health issues, healthcare professionals may recommend an FBC to guide further investigation and treatment.
