Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test in Chandigarh

What Is a CBC Test in Chandigarh?

A CBC (Complete Blood Count) test in Chandigarh measures the number and types of blood cells in your body. It helps assess your overall health by analysing red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets, along with haemoglobin and haematocrit levels. This gives your doctor insights into oxygen transport, immunity, and clotting ability.

The test is performed on a small blood sample collected from a vein and analysed using automated haematology instruments at NABL & CAP accredited Metropolis labs in Chandigarh.
