What Is This Test?

A complete hemogram combines the Complete Blood Count (haemoglobin, red cells, white cells with differential count, platelets and red cell indices) with ESR, a general marker of inflammation.

Why this test is performed?

One of the most commonly ordered tests. It helps detect anaemia, infections, inflammation, bleeding or clotting tendencies and some blood disorders, and is part of routine check-ups, fever work-ups and pre-surgery tests. ESR adds information about inflammation, for example in infections, TB or arthritis.

Who should take this test?

Tiredness, weakness, pale skin, fever, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding; routine health check-ups.

Test Preparation

No fasting needed.
